This walking spot is an easy scenic walk. Locals have added their own locks along the fencing of the bridge.

Lived here over 60 years, first time crossing this bridge

Lovely little park on the Waterville side. The bridge is a historic walking bridge that crosses the river to Winslow. No more two cent toll to cross, though. All free to access. Great place for a picnic or a break from the city to sit or throw a Frisbee. Dogs allowed on leash.

Best spot for a quick walk with amazing views and breadth taking river view.

They've really cleaned up this area. It's still over run by homeless on the outskirts, but for the most part, it's a nice place to take the family for walks and play in the field. We were there this weekend and did some magnet fishing on the shoreline and from the 2 cent bridge. It would be really nice if they would extend the river walk to head towards Fairfield, similar to what they do on the Winslow side (they have a trail from Winslow to Benton along the river). There's likely some logistics with CSX that would be difficult to work around.

Wicked nice for walking across and whatnot...the lights are kind of bright at night though, sunglasses needed.

Great history. I actually stopped for the farmers market but took a few minutes to take a couple pictures by the historic to send bridge. This bridge has been here for a very long time and has had a lot of memories. If you're new to the area or just traveling through I'd recommend you stop and take a picture with it. Who knows if it will be here the next time you come by. And if it is it'd be a great opportunity to take another photo and put the two next to each other 20 years or so apart

I like how they restored it safer doesn't rock as much and now they have a padlock lovers thing that's cute you lock it on the gate bangs and throw the key in the water supposedly it forever Bond your Love with your loved one. The land is beautiful n the view on water I nice n it's kept clean. It's just lil scarry with the people living dwn there in woods now a daz it's just u don't know who u can trust to be safe going for a walk den there even. I feel bad for homeless idk why they don't take the old building by wtvl bridge n make another shelter getem off streets getem in programs to help getem off drugs. CUPLE of my younger family members r in that situation n it's sad cuz they do things that they don't normally do n it's like we don't see them ever anymore unless there in jail need bail lol I wish the best for them all I do. God bless them all of them. ❣️

Cool bridge with a lot of history. If you have time and are in the area it is worth a visit and a walk across the river. With just a couple of people on it you could feel it sway but it is not unsafe.

We attended Waterville Rocks outdoor concert in the spacious park beside Two Cent Bridge on a warm, cloudy summer evening. Maine singer-songwriter Chris Ross started about 7:15, followed by The Weight Band around 8:45. A well-behaved crowd of 300-400 people brought their own chairs and blankets. There were two food trucks, an ice cream vendor and beer truck. The stage has a good sound system but terrible lighting. Portapotties in the parking lot. We thought the event was well managed except for the lengthy wait times and irritating recorded music used before the event and in the interval. It would be wise to program recordings aligned to the scheduled entertainment.

Beautiful bridge. River was flowing hard

Had no idea this beautiful place was hidden in the heart of Waterville!
Write your initials on the lock with your love, and (probably shouldn't) throw the key in the river to forever seal your love!
And old tradition, with a sweet spot ❤️
The Two Cent Bridge is totally worth a visit! (Or photoshoot)

It was awesome! Seriously so pretty! The leaves are changing colors and the view was gorgeous! It was a nice little park to walk with our 5 year old. Worth the quick stop.
