The Bridge of Flowers is a picturesque spot with beautiful foliage and scenery. The pedestrian-only bridge, repurposed from an old trolley bridge from 1908, is lined with amazing flowers and flowering shrubs from April to October. Visitors can enjoy the lovely Deerfield River views and explore the cute shops and eateries on either side of the bridge. There are several restaurants where guests can have breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks, and a candy and coffee shop along with a general store offering all kinds of goodies. The bridge features pot holes in the stones in the river, which are worth checking out. The visitor's building provides ideas for things to do in the area, including visiting the train museum on weekends. Note that dogs are not allowed on the bridge. This free attraction is a great starting point to explore the towns of Shelburne Falls and Buckland, and donations are appreciated to support the gardeners' efforts. Although some flowers may not be in full bloom during certain times, the display of flowers and growth hanging off the side of the bridge is always a delight, making it a lovely place to spend the day.
Absolutely beautiful former trolley bridge that has been completely landscaped with flowers. Worth a free visit if you like flowers and are nearby. The two towns on each side of the bridge are quaint and have many shops and restaurants available. Parking is free on the street. The Shelburne Falls Village Information Center is a short walk away from the bridge, with local information and restrooms available. The Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum is a very short ride away, open on weekends.
I just love how well maintained this place is. The flowers are taken really good care of. The place is absolutely free but there is a small donation box near the entrance and i suggest to donate something for how beautifully the place is taken care of.
We stopped in during a road trip to eat lunch and visit the bridge, and are so glad we did! It's spectacular - so many blooming plants, with buzzing pollinators by the thousands. Definitely worth visiting more than once.
