Bladensburg Park Pedestrian Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Bladensburg Park Pedestrian Bridge is a crucial link in the Anacostia Tributaries trail system. If you're traveling from DC's Anacostia River Trail, this bridge transitions you from the scenic east bank of the river to the bustling west bank. From here, the path goes under US Route 1, also known as Bladensburg Road, where the trails extend to connect seamlessly to the lively areas of College Park, Silver Spring, and numerous other destinations.
