We stayed at the falls for the night, the bridge is really nice to see and well maintained. It is a 10 minutes worth of sight seeing. But if you are walking around town then dont miss it

This once was a trolley bridge that went over the Deerfield river years ago. Some local genius types opted to convert it into a foot path and festoon it with some very gorgeous flora. The displays are changed during the warm weather seasons. Take your time and enjoy the sites and the floral aromas. Be sure to meander downriver (walking... More

Always worth a drive. A beautiful garden walk crossing the river with great shopping and eating on either side. This is a destination spot.

Such an innovative way to use an old bridge that can no longer handle traffic! Garden club volunteers plant and maintain the bridge, which has perennial beds running on both sides for its entire length. As a Master Gardener, I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into this wonderful garden.

Nice little walking bridge in a nice little village town. Several small stores to come and visit. If you're in the area stop by.

A garden on a bridge over the Deerfield River. Unique. Perfectly maintained by volunteers and a must-see in Western Mass. Seasonal of course

The little trolley bridge has been planted over many years with some beautiful, eye-popping flower beds. In the spring, especially, but also through the summer into the fall, the Bridge of Flowers makes for a gorgeous, leisurely stroll. There are benches tucked here and there to sit and read or contemplate. It is a wonderful reuse of the old bridge... More
