The Sentinel Pine Covered Bridge is a covered footbridge in Franconia Notch State Park in Lincoln, built in 1939 on the Flume Gorge trail above the Pemigewasset River. It rests on the trunk of the Sentinel Pine, a giant white pine felled by the 1938 New England hurricane, which was laid across the gorge to serve as the bridge's base. It spans a deep pool and pothole known as the Pool.
Open to foot traffic within the park, it is one of the most scenic walking bridges in the White Mountains.
