Mohawk Valley Gateway Overlook Pedestrian Bridge

The Mohawk Valley Gateway Overlook is a beautiful bridge stretching 511 feet over the Mohawk River. There are scenic and picturesque views to be had here. The bridge features unique art exhibits that depict the history of the Mohawk Valley and Amsterdam. The bridge also connects to Riverlink Park which also offers unique beauty. As you walk along you will notice twelve stopping points which describe the history of the region. In the middle of the bridge there are rounded patterns which depict six different neighborhoods of Amsterdam. As you move further along you will also notice deck patterns with trees and flowers. Near the northern overlook there is a large rounded story marker depicting the past and future of Amsterdam. Finally, it is hard not to mention the unique sculptures depicting elements of the Mohawk River along the bridge. The bridge is connected to a larger walking and biking trail called The Chuctanunda Creek Trail which is 8 miles long and goes through the city of Amsterdam. You can also simply park near either side of the bridge and walk over it and enjoy the scenery. Overall, this is a great way to get out and enjoy Amsterdam and the Mohawk Valley.

Absolutely amazing place! Gorgeous flowers and setting! They have a rock snake, built of rocks people design and add to the line that goes along the beginning of the bridge. Absolutely amazing and astonishing artworks. So much history and information. Including a piece of one of the towers from 9/11 for the memorial they have there. Right by the train tracks to watch a train go by. Definitely recommend to see for yourself!

Love it! Good job by the city and partners on construction of the outstanding pedestrian bridge, park and trails. I had full bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming.

This is such a stunning overlook! There are gorgeous views, beautiful sculptures by Dimitar Lukanov, and educational plaques every few feet that dive into the history of the area. It's really worth taking the time to enjoy if you have the opportunity!

Spectacular spot--dripping with history. Beautiful sculptures by Dimitar Lukanov. Wonderful landscaping. Worth the visit if you're anywhere near.

Nice car parking for bike path and charging station for electric vehicle

Beautiful view and the history along the way was just the right touch! Very clean walk . Thank you everyone for keeping it picked up

Cool art!

This a lovely pedestrian bridge crossing over the Mohawk River connecting the south part of Amsterdam with the northern part by way of the Riverlink Park. There are small gardens as you cross the bridge and plaques recognizing the history of Amsterdam. If you are lucky you may see boats passing under the bridge. There is a small parking lot at Bridge St. on the south side at the entrance to the bridge.
