The Peter Courtney Minto Island Bridge
The Peter Courtney Minto Island Bridge and Trail is the last critical link in connecting 1,200 acres of parks and more than 20 miles of off-street trails between South Salem, downtown, and West Salem. When combined, this acreage is larger than New York City’s Central Park. More info HERE.
