The West Arlington Bridge is one of Vermont's most photographed and painted covered bridges. Dating to 1852, the picturesque red bridge is located on the town green near the former home of painter Norman Rockwell, which is now the Inn on Covered Bridge Green.

West Arlington Bridge spans the Battenkill River, a popular spot for kayaking and fly fishing.
