Great playground for the family and access to the pedestrian path to walk along the bridge. For the easiest parking, we suggest you head to Waterfront Park in Mount Pleasant, near the Visitor Center. From there, you’ll be able to find the pedestrian path easily. There’s one lane for bikers and another for walkers. It’s important for walkers to leave enough rooms for the cyclists to pass by.
