Description

Three of Northfield Vermont's covered bridges stand within a quarter mile of one another. The Upper Cox (or third covered bridge), Lower Cox covered bridge, and the Northfield Falls Covered Bridge (Station covered bridge). All of these three are closely located on Cox Brook Road, as that road passes over the winding Cox Brook, a tributary of the Dog River. All of the 5 covered bridges that are maintained by the town of Northfield are painted red with green signage.
This covered bridge is one of the Northfield 5, a name I gave to the five covered bridges that reside in the township of Northfield. (Northfield fall is a municipality under the town of Northfield)
The other two out of the five covered bridges are the Slaughterhouse covered bridge and the Moseley Covered bridge (aka, Stoney brook covered bridge) are others that reside in the township of Northfield Vermont. The upper Cox bridge is similar in design with a queen post truss, the trusses are not completely covered as the others are. Also there are large �shaded� windows on both sides of the bridge
I have several different vantage points that I like of this bridge but heading up the road from the lower bridge and then passing through the bridge and parking on the road to the right you can go through the knee-high grasses and down to the brooks edge. If you arrive in autumn the water will most likely be low enough to get across with tennis shoes on but if you pack knee high waders in the trunk (and what good photographer doesn�t?) You can wade across and get several that I feel are really great views of the bridge with reflections. I�ve only shot it this way in the afternoon and I haven�t tried it in the early morning from this vantage point.
