The Bath Bridge is a popular tour bus stop and is located just off the town square in Bath. A handful of small shops are nearby, and if you are lucky, the Congregational Church will have thier foyer open with all manner of home made baked goods available. |

The Swiftwater Bridge is only 15 minutes away from the Bath Bridge making it and easy 2 for 1 stop. Ample parking is available on the bridge's far side on the left and beautiful oversized rocks in the river beckon to those with nimble feet. |

Also nearby is the Haverhill Bridge. Its closed now, but still open to foot traffic. Don't let that encourage you though - while its obvious they have been making some repairs, the enclosed bridge sidewalk felt anything BUT safe under our feet. This bridge is worth a visit though. The river downstream, opposite the new Raymond S. Burton Bridge, is stunning! |
