The Little Known Swinging Bridge That Shows Off Some Of The Best Views In Iowa
Iowa is full of unique river crossings, but nothing is quite like the walkable Iowa Falls Swinging Bridge. Take a short journey across this historic bridge to see one-of-a-kind views of the Iowa River itself.
Assembly Park in Iowa Falls is home to a playground, walking paths, picnic pavilion, and the little-known Iowa Falls Swinging Bridge.
No matter when you visit, you'll enjoy beautiful views. In the winter, the sight of fresh snow across the bridge and winter will take your breath away.
On the Rocksylvania side of the bridge, you can rent out the Swinging Bridge Cottage! Spend a full weekend overlooking the scenic river from this modern and cozy home on the water.
The Swinging Bridge can be accessed via Rocksylvania Road or Assembly Park on Mildred Avenue, both in Iowa Falls. This brief hike should go on your bucket list immediately!
