The Bull's Bridge Inn

The Bull's Bridge Inn is in the heart of the Housatonic Valley on Route 7 (Kent Rd.) and overlooks Bulls Bridge, one of only two covered bridges in Connecticut open to automobile traffic.

Bulls Bridge Gorge, spanned by the bridge,
is just that - gorgeous!

The Bull's Bridge is named after the Bull family and our building is more than 200 years-old with the property a landmark long before that. The gorge was dammed 121 years ago for its hydro electric power potential, but that didn't diminish the beauty of the spot where the Ten Mile River races in from New York and proceeds downward to churn the waters of the Housatonic, and the bridge adds a rustic beauty to the precipitous heights above the water.
Across the street is an overlook with benches on the west side of the bridge. There s also trails along the river, some of which lead safely down the rocks to the water. Take the safest one and be sure to wear sensible shoes. One can hike farther to the south along a nice, level portion of the Appalachian Trail to a modern bridge at the confluence of the Housatonic and Ten Mile Rivers. You will find plenty of spots with flat, rock outcroppings where you can dip your feet.
Although we no longer host overnight guests, the restaurant is open daily with four dining rooms and a separate, full-service bar.
