The Old Cedar Avenue Bridge has wide views of the Minnesota River. It's a popular spot for birdwatching—herons, egrets, and other wildlife are often seen here. The bridge connects to trails in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, making it a good detour or rest point during a longer ride.

Finally made it across this bridge, it's in really good shape. 2 big bike lanes in the center with walking paths on the outside.

Terrific views of the Minnesota river channel and flood plains. There are always birds and birders here. Last night we saw about 6 heron. Well worth the trip!
