What People Are Saying About Stone Arch Bridge and St. Anthony Falls
The Editor

In Short – A gently S-curving bridge was built by railway baron James J. Hill in 1883 to speed his trains across the Mississippi River. Now beautifully restored, the bridge provides serene transit for walkers, joggers and anybody who wants the best possible view of St. Anthony Falls, whose churning power first made Minneapolis a milling capital.

Very nice

Family friendly spot. Easy parking. Just a cool little area that I feel more people should visit. A very scenic spot in a city full of them.

Romantic Escape Amidst the City Lights

Recently enjoyed a stroll across the bridge following dinner. Chose to use this location to propose because of the backdrop of the Minneapolis skyline coupled with St. Anthony falls in the foreground. It's a perfect blend of the big city and the quiet country.
- Pros: Well lit, Clean, Scenic
- Cons: No benches
