This pedestrian bridge that links the two sides of Granite Falls across the Minnesota River was built in 1935 by the Minneapolis Bridge Company with the design and materials from the historic Roebling & Sons Company (Brooklyn Bridge). As you stroll across the bridge, keep in mind that it is an actual suspension bridge, supported by the cables and towers that make up its structure. Nearby, the dam creates hydroelectric power for half the city of Granite Falls. Pelicans and ducks are frequently at home near the dam as green spaces line the riverfront. Located in downtown Granite Falls.
