Family friendly spot. Easy parking. Just a cool little area that I feel more people should visit. A very scenic spot in a city full of them.

Now beautifully restored, the bridge provides serene transit for walkers, joggers and anybody who wants the best possible view of St. Anthony Falls, whose churning power first made Minneapolis a milling capital.

Recently enjoyed a stroll across the bridge following dinner. Chose to use this location to propose because of the backdrop of the Minneapolis skyline coupled with St. Anthony falls in the foreground. It's a perfect blend of the big city and the quiet country.

Pros

+ Well lit, Clean, Scenic

Cons

- No benches
