Albany Covered Bridge belongs on this map because it identifies a precise, legal place to pause on Kancamagus Highway, rather than treating NH 112 or Albany as one undifferentiated scenic pin. Located at Kancamagus Highway, Albany, NH 03818, it is planned as a 30–45-minute covered-bridge and river stop. That makes it a useful contrast with the map’s longer trail and summit entries: the visit centers on a short walk from the parking area, not a steep viewpoint hike or extended forest-road outing.

Its late September to early October window should be read alongside the live New Hampshire foliage report, not as a 2026 color guarantee. Before setting out, check White Mountain National Forest alerts. A recreation pass may be required at signed sites, so the access question is more specific than simply asking whether the bridge is free. The river setting, named highway location, short walk, and forest-management requirements are the grounded details that distinguish this stop from a town-center pin or an unspecific Kancamagus overlook.
