This beautiful trestle bridge is especially spectacular when lit up at night. Once part of Harrisburg's streetcar network and then opened for vehicle use, it's now reserved solely for pedestrians.

Beautiful stretch of the Capital Area Greenbelt. As the trail veers away from the river, the surface is a crushed gravel. It is well maintained and fully rideable.
