Thousand Islands Bridge, Alexandria Bay

Walking across using the pedestrian walkway is a fun activity to do if you are already in the area. There are some very nice views and photo ops. The bridge does move a bit when larger trucks cross so obviously not recommended for anyone uncomfortable with heights. The walkway is one person wide in parts and a bit wider in others, so you should be able to pass other walkers if necessary. There were no other pedestrians when I was there. There are signs indicating that bikes are not allowed on the walkway.

I visited the Ivy Lea bridge on Oct 8 2022. It was a lovely day with beautiful river views from the bridge and with the added interest of periegrine falcons overhead which were pointed out to me and my friends by bridge maintanance people. The attached photo is of one of the bridge painters - the bridge is continuously kept freshly painted a pretty spring green. The passing traffic was very noisy making it hard to have a conversation, but the shaking of the bridge gave the bridge visit a dynamic feel.
