We’ve heard about the old Cedar Avenue Bridge for a long time now, but we had no idea how to get to it and what it was like. The other day, Mom took just me to go and check it out. Since I’ve been home a lot, it is nice to spend time with just me and Mom. It is much more than we expected and we have to go back to do more exploring another day.
Thankfully, during the weekdays, there isn’t much going on, so we had the place mostly to ourselves. It isn’t often one finds a big place like this and can take a photo without other people in it. The bridge which has been reopened since 2017 is right behind me.
We found a lot of information plaques along our walk talking about the bridge and the entire area.
There are a few lookout points. This one looks out over a swampy area. I could see lots of ducks out there in the distance. I prefer something more interesting like squirrels but we didn’t see any of them at all.
The view from the bridge is nice. It crosses over two lakes and the Minnesota River.
Fall is here and we are excited for winter to show up. If we come back later in the year, we will need to keep an eye out for ice, I guess. It is more of a warning for the humans than us pups.
Along the trails they have lots of these stone blocks which are ideal for photo posing. I think they are stone from the area.
If you are in the area, this is a great place to walk and you can walk for miles and miles on all the trails. Next time we will go further, this time was more of a “see what is there” kind of quick tour of the Old Cedar Avenue Bridge.
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard is for their Nature Friday blog hop.
What a great place to explore and, who knows, next time you might even see squirrels!
It seems like a great place for squirrels.
What a fun adventure and we love that picture of you with your paws up on the bridge rail, Bailie!
They said it was a look out spot, so I’m looking out.
that was nice to have a “Mommy and Me” day!! So special! You have so many wonderful places to walk there!
Mom says we could walk forever and still not cover them all.
I love your header! Mommy and Me walks are the best and you sure do have gorgeous places to take Mom
Hugs Cecilia
We are lucky there are a bizillion good places to walk and hike around here.
we hope there was no ice and you did not slip into da past… we love your land, it is beautiful!!!
We will go back in the winter to find the ice 🙂
You guys find the best places to visit.
We are surrounded by them here.
I love all the places your mom explores. Such fun and you always take us along.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. Scritches all around and my best to your mom. ♥
We love exploring and working out all at the same time. It’s fun.
How special that there is a bridge without cars zooming by … and so pretty to cross over!
We do have to watch out for bikes but that is nothing like cars!
What an interesting bridge! We love bridges that are for pedestrians only, and this one had some beautiful views!
It is a real nice bridge connected to lots of nice trails. It’s nice they saved it rather than ripping it down.
Such great places for pictures!
Great for pics and walking.
You look very pretty out there and the bridge is really cool!
Thank you. It is a nice area for walking.
That is a great place! I’m glad you didn’t try to catch the ducks!!
No, we are not into feathered things, just furry critters.
It looks beautifully restored and like you would all enjoy walking there.
It’s a great area with lots of great trails for walking and biking.
