Loved this bridge...called the walking bridge. It's an easy walk, so I did it a few times, then had ice cream at Clumpies (the best in Chatt town). There is always something to do beneath and around the bridge...shopping, eateries, fun in the park. Bring your dogs and the kids!

I've had a picture of this bridge hanging in my place of employment for 3 years, so while in Chattanooga I HAD to walk across it. It was easy to find and parking was closeby. There was a music festival going on downtown while we were there so that was nice to walk to and we got some great picutres!

A long walk, but a shortcut to the Riverbend Festival - plenty of seating to stop, look at the sights and rest !

Great place to walk, you can see all round. Some people run. Some walk their dogs. Others have children in strollers.

This pedestrian only bridge is worth the time to walk across. Great views of the river and both banks.

My wife loves to go for walks on the bridge after dinner. There are some pretty views of the downtown river front area. There isn't much else to say

Great views, pleasant surroundings. Very popular with local walkers, bikers, families. Fun to see what's happening on the water, boaters, skiers, etc. Great view of the Chattanooga museums and lakefront properties, especially at night.

Love walking on this bridge over the river. Everyone is always so nice and friendly. I love the idea of it being used for bicyclist and running/walking.

Strictly a walk across bridge. No motor vehicles allowed. If you're downtown it's a nice way to see activities along the river front.
