Beautiful walk. The Indians side even has music to listen to. There are sections for walkers as well as bikers. I highly recommend the walk.

Very nice pedestrian bridge that crosses the Ohio River and has stunning city views. My family and I walked this bridge on a pretty hot day and wished there was at least one spot for a break for some shade, but the shade created by parts of the bridge provided some nice shade with a forgiving breeze. I don't believe pets were allowed on the bridge nor those pay-by-time electric scooters (they shut down on the bridge). I did see a few bicycles on the bridge, so I assume they were allowed. Surprising classical music was playing at one end of the bridge. A nice and cute surprise. If you walk on a hotter day, make to bring water as there were not many options nearby on either end for refreshments. I would like to visit this bridge again at sunset/night for even more spectacular views!

Great bridge to see a good view of Louisville! It felt peaceful crossing through as we barely saw any people walking by! Wish it had a plaque to represent the crossing from Kentucky into Indiana and vise versa but it was a great outing while getting a good walk out of it!

Beautiful 1800s rail bridge connecting Kentucky and Indiana. Now just for pedestrians, no pets. Kept clean and LED lit by private group. Gorgeous park on the Kentucky side close to Lincoln memorial and kids' park and splash pad, hot dog …

Are big dogs allowed on the bridge??

Melanie Valera | Mar 2, 2019
Tyler Wilson | Mar 3, 2019

No dogs are allowed anymore unfortunately. Originally after the bridge opened people could walk their dogs across but due to irresponsible owners not cleaning up after their pets, all animals (dogs) were banned. Maybe one day they will allow them again because i really enjoyed walking my dog across.
