The Mohawk Valley Gateway Overlook is a pedestrian-only bridge that links Riverlink Park on the north shore of the Mohawk River to the Bridge Street area on the south side. Designed by architect George Bain and opened in 2016, it is part bridge, part linear park: 500 feet of decking with seating, viewing platforms, an amphitheatre, raised planters, and bronze panels narrating the history of the Mohawk Valley.
It is the best place in Amsterdam to spend half an hour. The view east up the river toward the Adirondack foothills is particularly good at sunset. Free, open year-round.
