Embark on an easy hike across the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge Trail, a unique S-curve structure offering expansive views of the Omaha skyline and the Missouri River. This gentle route spans 1.4 miles (2.3 km) with a minimal elevation gain of just 20 feet (6 metres), making it accessible for everyone. You can expect to complete this pleasant walk in about 35 minutes, enjoying the open air and scenic surroundings. As you cross, you'll notice the bridge's distinctive twin spires, a prominent feature against the horizon. It's a straightforward path, perfect for a relaxing stroll.
Planning your visit to the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge Trail is simple, as it's easily accessible from both the Nebraska and Iowa sides of the river. You'll find convenient free parking options available on both ends of the bridge, ensuring a hassle-free start to your hike. The trail is also welcoming to your furry friends, making it a great choice if you wish to bring your dog along for the adventure. For your comfort, amenities like water fountains and restrooms are located nearby, providing all the necessary conveniences for your outing.
What makes this trail particularly memorable is the opportunity to literally stand with one foot in Nebraska and the other in Iowa, right at the state line marker on the bridge. This playful feature adds a unique photo opportunity to your experience. Additionally, keep an eye out for Omar the Troll, a whimsical sculpture nestled underneath the bridge on the Nebraska side, adding a touch of local folklore to your journey. The bridge itself is celebrated as an architectural landmark, connecting two states with its iconic design.
