The 700-foot-long Sundial Bridge is an iconic Northern California attraction frequented by locals and visitors alike all year round. It was designed and built by world-renowned Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava; this is his first free-standing bridge in the United States. The Sundial Bridge functions as a working sundial, with the time intervals laid out on the ground at the northern shore of the bridge. It is accurate, one day per year.
The Sundial Bridge connects Turtle Exploration Park on the south side to the Sacramento River Trails on the north side, and runners, walkers, and bike riders alike use it as an entry or exit point.
