The great thing about this bridge is that it’s open to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. That means that you can simply walk along the bridge to take in the view rather than zooming by in your car.

And what a view it is. The trees that line the Connecticut River turn spectacular hues of orange, red, and gold during the months of October and November. A visit early in the fall will treat you to brighter colors, while a mid- to late-November stroll reveals deeper, redder foliage.
