Tour Boat
Pontoon style tour boats have replaced the old steel barges of the past. Because they cannot fit through the Cobblestone Bridge the tours leave and enter through the East Canal. Photo taken on April 27, 2013.

Spirit Bridge
This stone bridge was installed as part of the renovation of the Japanese Garden in 1995, replacing this wooden bridge. One interpretation of the Spirit Bridge suggests that ghosts can't follow one across it because they cannot pass over moving water and cannot move sideways and thus are blocked by the split bridge. Photo taken on September 14, 2013.
