Fremont Heritage - Canon City - Arkansas River and the Train Station

 

The Arkansas River and the Train Depot

The City relocated the historic Fourth Street Bridge and reused the bridge for a pedestrian walkway across the Arkansas River. This connects the train depot area with Centennial Park and the river walk.
