After walking this bridge for the first time, since coming to Winnipeg for at least 10 years now, I definitely say it is a must. The cute little shops and soft live music adds to the beauty of looking out over the river, where you can see the tour boats cruise up and down. There is also a restaurant overlooking the river.

The Full Moon Brings Views that Will Take Your Breath Away! The Phone Camera Hardly Does the Backdrops Justice... Try a Walk from all 4 corner angles of the bridge starting at about an hour Into sunset and finish when's the sun is gone and the moon is bright... Enjoy this View as I have, It's Inspirational! -zak-

Amazing view, great walk n jog place. I come here almost everyday as it’s a refreshing place. There’s a restaurant here and also couple of shops selling desserts. You can feel the contrast of the city from the different sides of the Bridge as the other side is full of lovely French Cafes and restaurants.

A must to see when visiting downtown Winnipeg. Connecting "The Forks" area Peace Park side over the Red River to the St Boniface side. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is just down from the walking bridge and absolutely worth a visit too. A good icon sight to photograph when in the area.

The bridge is not outstanding, but it provides a nice view from both sides. I went there in winter and, trust me, it was freezing as hell. If you’re planning to visit the bridge im winter, remember to take your warmest clothes and, of course, don’t forget your camera!

Cool bridge with always something happening going on around and on it, with break dancers or food vendors and so much more. You can walk on it and admire the river and the city and see so much! Even a restaurant there but that'll be something I'll try next!
