Hoover Mason Trestle

Historical landmark
Explore the former site of Bethlehem Steel and discover its history. The structure connected the ore yards, once located near where Wind Creek Bethlehem currently stands, to the blast furnaces at the heart of the plant. For almost a century, cars ran along it daily, delivering the ingredients for making iron. Today, it has been reimagined as an elevated park and pedestrian walkway where you can stand almost within arm’s reach of the blast furnaces that were once used to make the iron that helped create the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building, among several other iconic structures. Raised 46 feet above the ground, the $15.5 million trail runs 1,650 feet from near Bethlehem Landing Visitors Center towards Wind Creek Bethlehem. Described as the "narrative spine" of the plant, the trestle runs past the vacant industrial buildings that stand as monuments to what was once the nation's second-largest steelmaker. The walkway features benches, landscaping, and a self-guided tour with plaques describing how steel was made and the significance of some of the large buildings still standing.
