Bow Bridge
Bow Bridge spans the Lake between Cherry Hill and the Ramble side, a frequent romantic photo request.
Bow Bridge is a 19th-century cast-iron bridge over The Lake in Central Park. On Central Park Carriages Official routes, it is featured on the 45-minute Elite tour, the 1 Hour Park and City Tour, and the Proposal Tour. The 25-minute Mini Tour uses a shorter loop that does not reach the bridge.
What it is
Designed as part of the original park, the bridge’s curve is why it photographs well — especially with skyline reflections when the water is calm. Standing mid-span is a popular photo, which is why the tour guide lists it among requested stops.
Can you see it during a carriage ride?
On the packages named above, yes. Whether you disembark depends on that tour’s photo-stop rules. A pass-by is still a view of the bridge and lake; a scheduled stop is a different product feature.
