Vancouver Land Bridge — Attraction in Vancouver

We were here on a Sunday afternoon in early October. It was not crowded. Because of the freeway, the railroad, and the aircraft, it is extremely noisy here. The bridge is cute and easy to walk, with a wide smooth paved path. I don't know if it would be too steep for a wheelchair, but I had no problem at all with my cane. Unfortunately, many people with motor driven bicycles ride through here, and because of the noise you can't hear them coming up behind you.

There are places to sit, and signs describing some of the plants, as well as historical information signs. From the bridge, there are views of the freeway, the airfield, and the fort. A train parked on the tracks blocked what would have been a nice view of the river. Trains often park here.

Nearby on one side is the fort, which can be approached via paths through the prairie. On the other side is the river, where there is a walking path with informative signs.

Be aware there are no restrooms. There are a couple of water fountains, standing in full sun. I didn't try them, so don't know if they were working. On the river side, there are...

The walk was a nice easy walk along a paved walk way. Anyone could do this walk. It does have some slight up and down hill, but nothing extreme. It's also not very long which is nice. I liked the plaques along the bridge and walk way to describe what the plants were or what the landmark was, but the plaques were sometimes hard to see. Some of the plants had grown largely over the signs and we nearly missed them. It was kept in good quality. I think it would benefit from a few additional water fountains along the way (not that they are on right now with covid, but for the future.) I would also like to see a few more garbage cans along the way. The walkway was nicely made and was wide enough for a few people to pass by in a row which was great. I loved where it started/ended at the historical sites from the military...

This was my first time walking across the Vancouver Land Bridge. I found it to be quite interesting, to say the least!

The Vancouver Land Bridge connects the Columbia River Waterfront to the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. The native history along the bridge is not only beautiful, but it is also fascinating. It is part of the Confluence Project.

I wish I had taken more photos/videos, but there is next time. I will be more prepared to do so, especially knowing what I do now.

Do come check out this rich piece of art and history! The architecture and design of this bridge are just stunning, making...
