This is a great walk with a unique perspective. Walking over the Mississippi River both ways from Memphis to West Memphis and back!Beautiful no matter what time you go!

Stopped here while traveling. We got here early morning on a beautiful fall day just in time to see the sun rise. Walked the entire bridge and back. So we started in Memphis, Tennessee and walked to west Memphis, Arkansas along the Mississippi River. Great start to our day!

Amazing outdoor amenity for the City of Memphis! Views are spectacular and path is always comfortable as it is shaded by the magnificent historic Bridge trusses. Fun to watch the trains go by as well!

If you like panoramic views of the Memphis skyline, the mighty Mississippi River, the iconic Memphis/Arkansas bridge, the delta, and unspoiled natural beauty, then Big River Crossing is for you.

Go everyday love this place reminds me of home (Port Gibson ms)

I have been coming to this place ever since it opened. Its definitely a great place for a walk/run. It is family friendly. You can rent scooters or bikes right where you park and you can walk down to tom Lee park. Usually is a mempops stand to get something refreshing in the summer. Definitely recommend to anyone who is trying to get out during this pandemic.

Such a cool place! Got there right at sunset, perfect weather, and easy walk to the bridge from the parking area. Really nice people also strolling around. Incredible view!

Great addition to downtown Memphis ! Beautiful people walking, jogging, biking. My first visit even though I mostly grew up in Memphis. The only things lacking, in my opinion, are:1) It needs a few trash cans on the route. (There was NOT ONE piece of litter) Thats due to good cleaners and/or conscientious guests.2) It needs a few shaded benches on the route for those of us who need an occasional break in the journey.Its fabulous !

This is a great experience. A nice walk from the Tennessee Side, across the Mississippi River, into Arkansas, and back. You can walk, jog, ride bikes, or stoll across. I am glad that I found this to conclude my trip to Memphis. I will be back and maybe next time will have my bicycle. Now, I can tell everyone that I walked across the mighty Mississippi River.

A nice place to walk outside a crowd of Memphis downtown. After Sunset they set a light on bridge. Though Sunset view is blocked by bridge itself and a sometimes standing train.Half of the bridge is in Tennessee and other half comes under Arkansas. Open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM everyday.Overall nice place to walk & chill!

Amazing. A wonderful walk over a powerful river looking at a great cityscape. Go at night and watch the lights change and dance.The when family loved it. Cant beat that.

Wonderful experience by yourself or with someone. Looking down at the Mississippi is awesome... also a great place to exercise

This was great to do, especially during sunset. Biking over the bridge was really beautiful- I think it would have been long to walk it. People were respectful and mostly moved to the side when they heard us coming. I think it took a total of about 15-20 min to bike to Arkansas and back with stopping for a few pictures and to enjoy the view.If you have a spare afternoon, I would suggest going!

We love walking this bridge. It has great views & perfect distance for exercise after youve enjoyed some good local eats downtown.

I enjoy crossing over and under this bridge. Very awesome amenity of Memphis.

Free. I walked the Big River Crossing yesterday April 27,2020. There was one sign that said use social distancing. That was it. Pics tell the story. Top recommend I would go again.

Its about a mile. Normally windy and some in shade. Not a bad short walk. Take a picture or two with river in background.

I love Big River Crossing It is one of my favorite places to walk very peaceful and calming something about the water its always a nice cool breeze and Its shaded which makes working out a plus

I took my kids and sister to the River Crossing! Adventures all the time! It is beautiful!

Beautiful view of the Mississippi river. Train lovers get to see trains go by up close.

A pleasant walk across the Mississippi River. Just be careful at night.

It smells like railroad. Good spot for sunrise but sundown is completely blocked by trains.

Nice for late night walk on the quiet river bridge. Beautiful city view when you go halfway on the bridge!

This is a fantastic walk. I walked from Tom Lees across to Arkansas and back. It’s about 4 miles from Tom Lee park across and back. You can access the gate to the bridge through the Big River Church parking lot. It’s not as hard to find as other reviews say. I walked it in December, in the late afternoon, and had the place to myself.

Had a blast with my dad walking across the bridge. Highly underrated visit in Memphis! Near the middle is where you cross the border from Tennessee to Arkansas. Such a cool experience and a great view of the city! I wish there hadnt been a train sitting on the other side of the bridge so we could see the other side, but it didnt detract from the walk at all.

I had such a beautiful morning today at Big River Crossing. I often times go to the other parks like Tom Lee and Mud Island. This time I switched it up and Im glad I did. Along the walk youll notice plenty of cameras to make you feel safe. I was there at 6 AM and even though it was 30 degrees, I saw joggers along the walkway. I highly recommend coming here for the views.

Havent been here in over a year - loving the Bike/Walkin Path is open!!! Its Beaitiful here!

Beautiful new perspective view of downtown Memphis all lit up for the Holidays!!!!

So during the day, it was a nice walk. Cool breeze blowing by, and plenty of shade. As soon as the sun started setting, 1000s of spiders started to come from everywhere. As someone who is terrified of spiders, I almost died. They even drop from overhead like they are trying to catch people. Never will go at night again....

One of my favorite trails to hit in Memphis. They do a good job of keeping it clean and pleasant. Fingers crossed it stays that way.Would highly recommend.

Awesome place to see the river and also get some exercise. Almost one mile across, the western/Arkansas end covers a lot of dry flat land that floods over sometimes. Nice sign showing the Arkansas/Tennessee border line, and nice view of Memphis. At night the bridge lights up with nice LEDs so you can be there as late as 10pm when it closes. Was chilly in the winter over the river, but I bet it’s nice when the weather is right.

Beautiful sight! Perfect for a morning or afternoon walk, its about 2 miles walking, you can also ride it on bike. It cross you over the Mississippi River from Tennessee to Arkansas. It has a picture spot with a state line, you can be in both sates at the same time. It also has a really nice view! If you love walking or exercising it is perfect for you.

It was awesome the walking trail was so beautiful and very safe.

Absolutely amazing place to visit. Gorgeous at night with the bridge light shows every 30 minutes and lights dancing around you. It had an extremely high amount of security cameras and emergency alert poles to make you feel safe, plus the lights (that worked) would light up brighter when you got closer. Halfway through (from the Memphis side) the overhead walkway lights were off, though you could still see from the display lights below. When I got to the covered area towards Arkansas, there were no lights anywhere for about five minutes of walking. Further on there were some lights again, though it was still darker than the Memphis side. Ill definitely return and I hope theyll get the light issues fixed soon. I highly recommend it even with the issues!

Enjoy the natural wonders along the mighty MS as you ride or walk the Big River Trail shared between Memphis and West Memphis. This is the right time of year as the season shifts from the sizzling summer heat to the mild warmth tempered by a nice early fall breeze bought on after a nice rain. The trail is a little over 5 miles depending on your starting point so bring/drink plenty of fluids and if you go late in the day be sure to protect against natures night time friendlies. If you are a lover of the outdoors, Id say you shouldnt miss the opportunity to visit this trail...

Nice walk to the state line over the river. Great view of the river.

Very nice walk. Peaceful and a nice breeze over the water.

We went for an early morning run while visiting friends. It was a great experience being able to do this! It was a short 2mile run. The bridge itself is less than a mile so we stretched the run. It was a beautiful day, I would love to see this at night.

A walk across the Old Bridge. Excellent views of the Memphis skyline.

Great views over the Mississippi River! Perfect for a walk for exercising or taking great photos.

Great atmosphere and great views, especially when you realize you can look straight through the bridge. Expansive bike trails beyond the Arkansas side of the bridge.

If you havent included Big River Crossing in your outdoor exercise regimen youre missing a treat! My wife & I ALWAYS enjoy The Crossing

Best place to have your first big river crossing!

Beautiful view of my southern city.

Great place to walk, jog, or ride your bike. Very family friendly. My kids love watching the boats and being in 2 states at one time!

Awesome you get to cross over the mississippi river and the Arkansas an tennessee line us on it

Nice walk. I would like to be have something to do in Arkansas but there is just the highway, so we have to return to Memphis side. Good Mississippi views.

This was one of the best things my wife and I while staying in Memphis, TN to get a good work out and see 2 states at the same time Tennessee and Arkansas which was very cool to do. We took some good pictures as well of the skyline of the Memphis, and the Mississippi River as well. This is must do if you are in Memphis for sure.

It was a nice walk on a beautiful day.

Absolutely love the big River crossing...a must see and do if you come to our city!

Safe, solid bridge with great view of Memphis. Arkansas side was not open at the end though. Maybe because of flooding?

Probably the best view of Memphis city can be seen only from here. Great place to walk and bike. Enjoy the breeze in the evening and wait till dawn to enjoy the night view. Be sure to carry water with you.

An amazing walking bridge! Must see! Walk right over to Arkansas from Memphis!

What a great way to take in the mighty Mississippi! Amazing views of the Memphis Skyline and a good bit of exercise. Got to see the flood waters up close.

Really nice view of the Mississippi. The whole pathway has great lighting for night time strolls. Emergency station available if needed. At 7p.m a light show starts on the bridge, thats definitely worth seeing. Great place to go get a breath of fresh air away from the city for a moment. Highly recommend.

What a hoot!! Walking across the Mississippi River was a great experience. Wonderful views and Beautiful sunsets!

Bike and hiking trail across the big muddy from Memphis Tn to West Memphis Ar

Finally made it to Arkansas!! Been trying to get here for 24 years, finally made it happen here

Dont bring a padlock. Its a nice walk above the river to the center of it.

Awesome views

Must do! Easy walk across the freaking Mississippi River! Such a cool thing to do!

Awesome view of the Memphis skyline!!

Great walking trail that leads to Memphis or Arkansas. It eventually will connect to the Shelby County Green Line and Main Street of West Memphis. The views are really awesome and at night the bridge is lit up and gives a great show. The trail always feels safe and is very well kept. There is enough space to bike or walk.

Very interesting walk!! Cameras everywhere so you can feel safe. Portalets on either end. Also rentabikes. Great views of the city, perfect for family photos. The bragging factor is big, too..you can WALK ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER all the way to Arkansas (or Tennessee). See the architecture of the old bridge! Feel the cool air coming off the river! Get shaken by the passing rail traffic! Watch the boats go by so fast! Try to spot the secret hobo camps! A really great addition to city and country life. And you can see the other bridge.

We loved walking across the river! The only thing I would suggest is to have a sign up if the Arkansas side is closed (was due to rain last weekend). The porta potties at the Memphis side were clean and great to have especially with small kids!

This is a treasure Memphis can long be proud of. Its a healthy 30 minute walk in each direction and the views of the city and the Mississippi River are amazing!Be sure to carry along some water.

Great place to visit for evening / morning run or walk. Only thing that can be improved is better markers and help for the folks using the walkways. It’s nice and safe place with camera installed

Excellent for Walking, Biking, Jogging !!!

Very cool to walk on the bridge. Not often you can say you walked over the Mississippi.

Awesome, gorgeous, quiet, safe experience! And free! Joggers ran by me frequently. It offered a serene view of the Memphis skyline.

Natural Beauty of bike riding over the MS river is automatically awesome

Fun walk across the might Mississippi. Talk some water with you as there are no vendors on either side of the bridge

Amazing way to see the river. Los of people here addy night enjoying the 100,000 LED lights. Highly recommended!

Whats not to love? I live in downtown.. and the big river crossing is simply amazing. Its a nice exercise while also providing a breath-taking scenery of the great Mississippi.The walk is definitely 40 mins for a round trip.Its great for cycling, walking, jogging, and just relaxing.They even have a couple of rest areas if you complete the walk over to Arkansas.

This was an amazing experience for our family! We only wish that we had time for the trails on the Arkansas side!

Ride some bird scooters across the bridge! Super fun!

Having the ability to walk across the Mississippi River was awesome. The view of Memphis was fantastic.

It is one of the main attractions in the city of Memphis, from where one can gaze upon the Mississippi river, historic downtown of Memphis (including the famous Pyramid) and walk to Arkansas!

Great place to take a hot date

We were excited to see the Mississippi River and the state line. This bridge is peaceful and great for taking a walk or bike ride.

We visited this place at night and it was a very cool experience. The bridge place a pretty cool light show. You also see the state line across the bridge which is pretty cool

Beautiful view of the beautiful city of Memphis

A Great Memphis secret and Treasure

This was a great place to get some exercise and see some barges up close.

We like it me n my family go alot it nicc.

Enjoyed the walk across the bridge. Beautiful lights at night!

Great outdoor getaway

Amazing view of the Mississippi River ! This is a must do if your in the area !

Peaceful.I try to get out here as much as possible

Very cool. Cross the river on foot! Nice views. Limited parking.

Lovely walk across the bridge over the Mississippi from Memphis Tn into Arkansas

The Big River Crossing is great! My son and I have been several times. The view is it of this world!!

Its cool except for the flying bugs.

A nice place to see the river. You can have one leg in Tennessee and the other in Arkansas.

The view of Memphis is beautiful from here, and its wonderful to have a bike path across the Mississippi River!

Wonderful place to walk. The walking bridge is right next to the actual train tracks and crosses the Mississippi River. Half way across you are at the Tennessee/Arkansas like and you can stand in 2 states at once. The views of the city from the walking path are well worth the visit

Very nice atmosphere...I love it..my favorite walking place

Nice get away

We walked it around sunset. On the way back, darkness had hit and the view was even more amazing. It would make a great romantic evening to take someone.

We went at night - so beautiful!
