"Disappointed no longer. Finally got the chance to come back here and the gate was open. Very happy. Beautiful bridge. And huge for a covered bridge."
"I was fortunate enough to have seen the bridge before it was burnt down by, apparently, teenagers having "fun". It was a beautiful covered bridge and by the looks of it, the rebuilt bridge has kept the charm of the original. The construction appears spot-on and the wood has weathered to where, unless you knew, you'd think it was original. As it's a recreation, it loses a star. Still... well worth the walk."
"The 164 ft long by 15 ft wide Schofield Ford covered bridge was destroyed by arson in 1991. The bridge was rebuilt through a community effort of more than 800 volunteers, and reopened September 6, 1997. The bridge was reconstructed on the old abutments and piers entirely of native Pennsylvania Hemlock and White Oak. The grey patina of the unpainted weathered wood is also unique for a Bucks County Covered Bridge."
"Originally constructed in 1873 and destroyed by arson in 1991, the current Schofield Ford Covered Bridge was rebuilt and reopened in 1997. The 164-foot bridge spans the Neshaminy Creek and is open to foot and bicycle traffic only. Its unpainted and weathered wooded facade makes it unique to the covered bridges of Bucks County. Located in the heart of Tyler State Park, Schofield Ford Covered Bridge is part of an elaborate hiking and horseback riding trail system that spans the close to 1,700 acre park, which is open to the public. The scenic State Park and covered bridge can be accessed via the parking lot off of Swamp Road."
"Interestingly 1991 (I think) restored covered bridge across the gently flowing Neshaminy creek… lots of small biting critters…"
