This railroad bridge that spans over the Potomac River in Harpers Ferry is quite the spectacle. A walk across the bridge grants you quick access between the C&O Canal Trail and Harpers Ferry town.

The Shenandoah River Bridge is a pedestrian bridge that runs parallel to US 340 as it crosses the Shenandoah River near Harpers Ferry. You get a great view of where the river meets the Potomac River from this quarter-mile bridge.

A rock formation near the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers visited by Thomas Jefferson in 1783 and mentioned in his "Notes on the State of Virginia." The supportive rock beneath the topmost slab of Harpers shale in the formation deteriorated and so was replaced by four short pillars in the mid-1800s.

This historic building is now used by the National Park Service for their operations. You can find visitor information here, though the building is not always staffed. The official visitor center at 171 Shoreline Drive provides more extensive information and ample parking. An NPS shuttle bus runs between the two locations.

This Civil War-era stone foundation was built by the Union Army in defense of Maryland Heights. The plans for the fort included a superstructure to sit atop the foundation, but this aspect was never constructed. Several conflicts occurred on Maryland Heights, which was a strategic position for both the Union and Confederacy.

The pedestrian portion of the bridge is separated from the vehicle traffic by a concrete barrier. Pedestrians walk on the downriver side of the bridge and have a good view of the Shenandoah River just before it meets the Potomac.
