We enjoyed our walk across the Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge in Omaha. There is a nice NP Service visitor center at the base that had nice displays and helpful rangers. We actually stopped twice—the first day it was really cold and windy for August, so we opted to wait. We returned a couple of days later and had much better weather. There are some lovely views from up on the bridge and it’s fun to get the photo op of standing in Iowa & Nebraska at the same time! Definitely worth a stop for a walk across and back!

Great trip. We arrived at approximately 5 pm and made our way towards the entrance of the bridge. There were several informational plaques located throughout the bridge, that detailed the importance of the Missouri river. The walk was relatively easy, and consisted of walking on a flat, even surface. We were able to see views of the river, along with several buildings in the distance. The walk was just over half of a mile. Tip: I recommend spending 30 minutes here if you truly want to see everything.

We took the dogs out for a walk while we were in the area and decided to take them halfway across the bridge. Cool views and a lot of people recreating. Not sure I'd go again but might as well give it a shot if you're in the area.

This is actually pretty cool, you can even stand on the border of IA/NE! They have electric bikes on the Omaha did you can rent as well. Worth a stop and walk around. It’s a neat bridge with a fairy unique architectural style.

We arrived the bridge at approximately 12 PM. The parking lot was almost full. Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge is nicely maintained. It was fun to walk across this bridge across the Missouri River and be in another state. We took some photos. The views from the bridge were really nice. It is a cool spot to visit. If you have the time, you definitely should try to take a walk there.

It looked so appealing from the photos and especially connecting two states. Motor vehicles aren't permitted on the bridge and only open to foot traffic. It's quite a stroll because it's a bit of an incline but it's good for any joggers, bicyclists or just walking a dog. It's a lot of fun because there's parks on both sides of the bridge. Like the fact it spans the Missouri River with Omaha on the west side and Council Bluffs on the east. The thing I really like the most is the way the bridge is designed like a suspension cable strayed. I'd bet it would look really sharp when lit up at night.

This is a fun short walk across the Missouri river with nice views, crossing the state line Nebraska to Iowa. On a 90 degree day, the bridge was nice and cool due to the string breezes off the river. From there you can walk about a mile or so behind the CHI convention center and reach Capitol Street and the Starbucks by the Marriott, with great AC and staff. The area has great steak restaurants and eats nearby. Although Gilbert's at Marriott was super-packed, I highly recommend the Monarch steak restaurant at the Art Deco hotel. Quiet beautiful atmosphere not crowded at all and amazing deliciously favored Omaha steak! If you have time the Durham museum is the old Union station, gorgeous. But $15 a head and a 1-2 hour visit. Sit in an old railroad car.

We stopped here on our trip from Carter Lake to the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum, parking at the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail HDQ. After using their clean restrooms and seeing the decorated buffalo hide, we walked through the north door and up the walkway ramp to cross this ‘S-shaped’ bridge. Great river views as we entered Iowa, then more of Omaha center on our return. At the bottom, we took the river trail for ½ mile south to the large “Labor” monument featuring water lines/information on the 1952 and 2011 floods. This is a popular area for dog walkers, bikers and runners.
