The bridge is part of the Chattanooga Ghost Tour and you get to know a good bit about the history of the bridge. More

The view of the river from the bridge is a good photo opportunity. It's a nice walk with plenty of space for others also. Only downfall is the smell around some areas. More

This bridge is awesome. Quite a long walk but very interesting for people watching day and night. Great views of the river and park. Lots of interesting cafes and restaurants on both sides. Very pleasant traffic free way to get across Chattanooga More

Walked the bridge many times during our visit. Beautiful views of river and downtown. Nice to not share a bridge with the car traffic. Benches are located on the bridge for resting or to sit and relax. Stayed on the city side and the bridge made it convenient to walk to the north side area which has quaint shops, eateries... More

I always bring out-of-towners to visit the bridge and all of the attractions and shops on both sides of the river. It truly has been a bridge over troubled waters. A great place to sit, think and unwind. You won't be disappointed! More

Loved this bridge. We walked across the river but encountered numerous bike riders...this would be so much fun. There are great views of river and Chattannoga. You can walk at your own pace, amble or jog as several were doing. We ambled and loved it More
