This is a foot bridge across a secondary channel of the Minnesota River located within Fort Snelling State Park. This back channel is a cut-off between the main channel of the Minnesota River, and the Mississippi River. It is considered to be non-navigable, but jet ski and small boats can use this waterway. The bridge connects the area near the parking lot and visitors center to Pike Island. The eastern tip of Pike Island is the confluence point of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers.
