Spend an afternoon wandering around the riverfront and include a walk over the Stone Arch Bridge. A nice way to experiencd some of the nature Minneapolis has to offer.

I absolutely loved this bridge! Walking on it was gorgeous and a great use of space for getting people to get outside and walk, ride your bike, spend time together, etc. I loved that Minneapolis got the Nice Ride bikes for someone out of town to get a bike for cheap and ride around town and on this bridge.

My parents wrote a guide book to the Twin Cities back... More

Now, the bridge is a foot trail for bikers, walkers, and runners, connecting the vast network of biking... More

The historic railroad bridge is now a walk and bike path across the Mississippi over the St Anthony Falls. Whether you're a history buff, a bird watcher, a lock and dam collector, or an outdoors seeker, the Stone Arch Bridge charms everyone. We always check it out during the December Christmas Bird Count, and frequently spy rarities that no one... More
