From this spot on a lovely wooden foot bridge, you get fantastic views up and down the Mill River. You also get particularly striking views of the sheer cliffs of East Rock to the south. This is a great spot to snap a few photos and enjoy the views.

Mountain biking

This small bridge takes you over the water and connects the trails on both sides of the river to each other. You also get pretty good views up and down the waterway. Note that you might have to walk your bike across the bridge.
