If you are hiking from Blue Heron and onto the Kentucky Trail, you have to cross over the Blue Heron Railroad Bridge. It once carried coal mine cars over the river until the site was abandoned in 1962. The bridge was renovated in 1989 for use by pedestrians as part of the area regeneration into an outdoor museum.
