Cumberland River Pedestrian Bridge


Open to pedestrians and cyclists, this sturdy bridge links Shelby Bottoms Park and its greenway with Two Rivers Park and the Stones River greenway. It's a photogenic stop for a tree-lined view of the river. Plans are afoot for a third greenway, which would link the bridge and greenways here to Opry Mills Mall.
