Orange Bridge
5.0 (13)attraction
Suspended over Reed Lake, this campus footbridge turns a quiet stroll into an unexpectedly bouncy crossing.
Description


Set within the Reed College campus, the footbridge connects directly to trails and wildlife areas, where crossing demands leaning into its pronounced bounciness and motion. Footsteps can quickly build into a buoyant, weightless rhythm before depositing you back on solid ground. In the evening, scenic illumination makes the span appear to float above the water, including colorful lighting during Pride. Walkers often pair it with a stroll toward an unbouncy counterpart bridge a short way east, though warmer weather brings an undeniable abundance of spiders along the structure.
