Trails · Downtown East / Marcy-Holmes
A historic 1893 railroad bridge across the Mississippi River, now a 2,100-foot pedestrian and cycling crossing managed by the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board. It links Mill Ruins Park with Father Hennepin Bluff Park and offers iconic river and St. Anthony Falls views. Dogs on leash are welcome throughout the park system trail.
It's a flat, traffic-free, scenic leashed walk with big river views, ideal for an urban dog stroll before or after a patio meal nearby.
The Minneapolis Park Board allows dogs in its parks but requires them to be individually leashed except inside designated off-leash areas (Ordinance PB2-18). Park hours are posted by the Park Board as 6 am-midnight; source: minneapolisparks.org.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
