A Motorcycle Ride to Rapps Covered Bridge

Written by Walt in Pennsylvania Rides

Ever since I started riding a motorcycle again, I’ve stumbled onto a pastime I enjoy far more than I thought I would – searching out and riding to Pennsylvania Covered Bridges. There is something about riding through a century-old wooden structure that puts a smile on my face and fills my mind with intrigue.

I recently took a ride out to Phoenixville, Pennsylvania to visit Rapps Bridge (Rapps Dam Covered Bridge) in the French Creek Heritage Park. This particular bridge is on a road that connects two main travel corridors (State Route 23 and State Route 113), resulting in a high traffic volume. The sheer number of cars traveling through the bridge, coupled with how narrow it is, made walking through it practically impossible.

I hope you enjoy this week’s video (above) and will consider subscribing to the WaltInPA YouTube ChannelOpens in a new tab. for more content.

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.
