We have driven over 7 mile bridge many times and that alone is an awesome experience but, this time we rode bikes out on the pedestrian bridge which is the original 7 mile bridge that has been refurbished. We rode bikes from our resort in marathon to the bridge and then on the bridge out to pigeon key which is about 2.5 miles one way (which is the end of the bridge from the north side). It’s a great set up with pedestrian walk way on each side of the bridge and bike lanes up the middle. Great view, nice breeze and endless ocean. There is a small parking lot just before the bridge entrance but it was pretty full. No fishing from this side but, if you are coming from the south side, part of the old bridge has been converted into a pedestrian fishing pier.

Happy Jack's was a great train driver! Super friendly and fun! C.T. gave us a great, informative tour if Pigeon Key. Highly recommend this tour..only 2 hrs.

Nice view from your car with no place to pull over, but you will enjoy the ride. The old bridge parallels on the western side. There is a tree named Fred that is growing on the old bridge closer to the south side of the span.

It is great piece of history and nice views. However, there should be public restrooms. The 4.2 miles round trip is a beautiful walk but make sure you are prepared for the heat and have water, sun screen etc.
