Biking Across the Longest Covered Bridge in the U.S. 🚴 | Smolen-Gulf Bridge Exploration

Ride with me across the Smolen-Gulf Covered Bridge in Ashtabula County, Ohio — the longest covered bridge in the United States and the 4th largest in the world. This incredible structure stretches 613 feet across the Ashtabula River and stands as a modern engineering marvel built to honor Ohio’s historic covered bridges.

In this video, I take you on a biking journey across the Smolen-Gulf Bridge, exploring its massive wooden trusses, scenic views, and the surrounding trail access points. Whether you’re into cycling, history, or architecture, this ride offers a unique look at one of America’s greatest bridges.
