The Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge is the first mixed-use wildlife crossing in the United States. Part of its success lies in the placement of the pedestrian trail - which is placed to the side. In the middle a small earth berm blocks the view from the trail to the wildlife corridor, giving wildlife an opportunity to be on the Land Bridge during the day, hidden from people.

The Skywalk takes the traveler 18-feet into the air, right into the tree canopy.

“Innature” is an art piece designed by local artist Ashley Mireles. It has silhouettes of native plants that you will find in the park.

Nearby is a wildlife water feature that draws wildlife to the Land Bridge.

“Lightbox” is an art piece designed by Cade Bradshaw. The walls of the wildlife blind have holes punched in them at differing sizes - emulating the topography in the park.
