Lower Shavertown Bridge is a covered bridge in Delaware County, New York. New York has 30 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 4 of them in Delaware County.

It was built in 1877, in the late 19th century, making it the 11th oldest of the 18 in New York with a recorded construction date; it is about 32 feet long (10th longest of 11 measured in New York).

Status check, 2026-11: Built in 1877 at Shavertown and moved to Methol in 1954, now over Trout Creek on private land; its Town truss no longer carries the deck, so the NY State Covered Bridge Society classes it as a historic stringer. Lower Shavertown Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 41.9233° N, 75.0136° W.
