The Fort Snelling Park Foot Bridge crosses a secondary channel of the Minnesota
River on a trail at 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 skies 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.
