dc.descriptionOver the years there have been a total of seven foot bridges over the great falls. The first of the pedestrian bridges was The Clinton Bridge. It was named the Clinton Bridge after New York Governor DeWitt Clinton. It opened on September 30th, 1827. It was a covered wooden bridge that charged pedestrians a fee to cross. In 1844 a second pedestrian bridge was installed. It was a wooden covered bridge that did not permit visitors to enjoy the view of the falls. In 1854 the third pedestrian bridge had wooden panel walls. Even though it was open on top the walls again blocked the view of the falls for visitors. In 1868, this bridge was declared unsafe and replaced.
