It's a pedestrian bridge that literally allows you to teleport to another state, well, not really. But close. It allows you to experience scenic views of downtown Memphis, the riverfront, Bass Pro shop and even more. The bridge connects downtown Memphis to West Memphis, Ark. You'll undoubtedly see passersby walking, jogging, cycling, painting, admiring, smiling and the list goes on. It's not uncommon to witness a train along the bridge or overhead (depending where you are standing). Here's what I'm geeked about (not fake geeked, but seriously geeked) - in all of the times that I've traveled the bridge, there has never been an army convoy being transported. It was the most magnificent site that anyone could imagine. The longest train ever with car after car of gas tankers, Humvees, electrical circuit cabinets, literally THE army on wheels. I was speechless for quite a while. My day was made! What are you waiting for? Get up, get out and see for yourself.

It starts off pretty normal: a bridge, some signs, people with strollers and bikes. Then, a few steps in, you look left and boom--there's the mighty Mississippi just doing its thing, rolling slow and wide like it knows it's the star of the show. Look right, and the Memphis skyline's just casually posing for every photo you take, no filter needed. Halfway across, I realized something weird: I was crossing state lines on foot. Tennessee behind me, Arkansas ahead. No tolls, no border guards--just a bunch of joggers and one guy playing country music out of a Bluetooth speaker strapped to his backpack. As the sun dipped, the lights kicked on--thousands of little LEDs blinking across the bridge like it was throwing its own party. It felt like magic. A peaceful, riverfront, light-show kind of magic. Five stars for turning a simple walk into a memory I'll probably brag about way too often.

They have an adequate sized parking lot available. Some of the trail goes over natural marsh areas via a board walk. During my visit the boardwalk was removed, for repairs I guess and the trail was impassable at that point. Up to that point it was a nice and well-defined trail. The area spans 21 acres and runs along the Wolf River. I felt that I could easily get lost here, even though I could see houses at certain parts of it. Even though it is a "State" Natural Area, it is actually managed by the city of Germantown. This place has a lot of potential for a person looking for a pure nature hike. It is also a very soothing and peaceful spot. I hope they take of what ever they are working on soon.

The address on the site is for the sort of "clubhouse" and that is fairly near to the start, which is actually at the North Parkway "bridge" where the RR stubs off and runs through the neighborhood to Jackson Ave. It is mostly unpaved, dirt/gravel with the "blue blobby" sculpture at the N. Parkway end, a couple of small footbridges & some benches along the path. It's probably about 1.2? miles all told - I ran from Tutwiler (starting at the GlenMary apartments) to N Parkway end, doubled back all the way to Jackson & back to N Parkway to get just over 3 miles in. It felt very safe - houses on either side & other walkers, joggers, cyclists, dog walkers. it's nice!
