Leaman Place Covered Bridge in Lancaster County, also known as Eshelman's Mill and the Paradise Covered Bridge is a scenic span in one of the counties with the most abundant selections of covered bridges within Pennsylvania. Lancaster County has one of the finest collections of covered bridges in the state. At 113 feet long, this would be a decently sized span anywhere else, but there are much longer bridges both in the county and in the immediate area around central PA.
This bridge crosses Pequea Creek and is a single-span burr-truss bridge. It was built by James Carpenter way back in 1845. It has been rehabilitated at numerous times, with its most thorough recent work being in 2004.
As a covered bridge connoisseur, I am often most drawn to bridges with beautiful stone abutments like this. These approaches are so beautiful and are often more impressive to me than just the spans themselves.
