[ Mid-tempo music plays ] Bahr: The bridge is just beautiful.

The view is probably one of the best views in town.

I've had people that grew up here that are in their 80s bring their grandkids back and say, "This is where it all began."

[ Music continues ] Kohlsdorf: Swaying over the Iowa River, the Iowa Falls Swinging Bridge was first built in 1897.

For generations, locals have maintained and rebuilt the attraction as needed, including a full reconstruction in 1989.

From the end of Rocksylvania Avenue to Assembly Park, the suspension bridge provides a walking path with a view.

Visitors can watch birds and boats drift by the limestone bluffs lining the waterway's banks.

[ Music continues ] [ Birds chirping, squawking ] Bahr: We have pelicans come through, tons of geese.

The baby geese are just hatching right now.

People will go up and down the river on their pontoons.

It takes about an hour, hour and a half to go up and down if you're just kind of poking along.

What makes it unique is that we've had this walking bridge over 100 years.

It's just one of the nicest things in town.
