Step right up and take a walk through the longest covered bridge in the world! It’s not every day that you can say you’ve completed such a significant accomplishment. Journey with us to the Maritime Province of New Brunswick to find the Geocache of the Week (GC66PQN).

Hold on to your hats and lace up your boots—it’s time to walk the wonder! Dare to embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure across the world’s longest covered bridge—a marvel of wood, history, and heart-pounding nostalgia!

This isn’t your average stroll, as every step takes you closer to geocaching glory.

The Hartland Bridge, a historical marvel, opened on July 4, 1901. It’s the world’s longest covered bridge, at 1,282 feet (391 m) long, crossing the Saint John River from Hartland to Somerville, New Brunswick, Canada. The framework consists of seven small Howe Truss bridges joined together on six piers.

In addition to being a fantastic way to get your steps in and a dryer way to cross the river, it’s also home to a cleverly hidden geocache. To find this geocaching masterpiece, walk to the third pier in the water and face the traffic. The geocache is on the left diagonal beam, just a few feet off the ground. It shouldn’t be too hard to locate once in the right area.

While the container might be a common one that you’ve seen before, it’s the perfect size to be tucked away from the wandering eyes, so that only those who know about it will find it.

This geocache hunt should not take long—after you sign your name on the logbook, take some time to enjoy the view and all of the history this bridge holds. What local hidden gem is your favorite? We’d love to hear about your experiences, so share them with us in the comments below!
