It’s no secret that Lambertville a picturesque place. From flowers to waterways and ducks to doorways, this town has more beauty than your lens can capture.
Below are ten iconic selfie spots that scream, “I’M IN LAMBERTVILLE!”
The State Line on the Bridge
Half way across the Lambertville-New Hope Bridge is a silver railing and border sign that clearly designates the divide between New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Why here: crossing the line is a fun for the whole family, and it’s always well lit.
Location: at the center of the bridge walkway. (here’s a map)
Best time to go: sunset or sunrise, but anytime is good.
Lambertville-New Hope Bridge
On the Lambertville side, walk down into the parking lot by the historical marker and you’ll get the iconic bridge angle view seen in many Lambertville images.
Why here: the view of the bridge, the reflection in the water, the open sky.
Location: the west end of Bridge Street (here is a map).
Best time to go: anytime, but you might catch the colored lights at night.
The Wing Dam
Skip this one if you’re not into scaling jagged rocks or climbing over giant tree trunks. Otherwise, it’s worth navigating down to this technically difficult spot.
Why here: it puts you literally in the middle of the river with unobstructed views all around. Also, it’s nice to dip in the water on a hot summer day.
Location: head south on the canal path, it’s on the right (here is a map).
Best time to go: dawn, daytime, dusk.
Ferry Street Canal Bridge
This lovely bridge and waterfall are easily accessible from the center of town. Go to the south side of the bridge and you’ll find beautiful flowers as well as colorful ducks and geese (who don’t mind having their photos taken).
Why here: a short, family-friendly walk from the center of town.
Location go behind the ACME Screening Room, or walk south on the canal path from Bridge Street (here’s a map).
Best time to go: daytime. You won’t be able to see anything at night.
Alexauken Creek Aqueduct
A train once crossed this waterway. Now there’s a wooden walking bridge. If you look closely, you might find the secret rainbows under the railing.
This location is a bit of a hike from downtown, but if you come this far you can easily loop in the Graffiti Train and the Flemington Railroad Bridge.
Why here: if you can find the right angle, you’ll get a great photo. Sometimes geese nest on the stone wall there, which adds to the fun.
Location: just north of the Flemington Railroad Bridge (here’s a map).
Best time to go: during the day.
The Flemington Railroad Bridge
Walk across the top of the old train bridge and you’ll find graffiti messages, a wooden foot path, and a highly Instagrammable place to take photographs.
Why here: you can face north and get a view up the canal or turn south for an equally interesting shot. The bridge itself is an artistic subject for a picture.
Location: go behind Basil Bandwagon and you’ll see it (here’s a map).
Best time to go: when it’s light out so you can see where you’re stepping.
The Lock Bridge
Under the old Flemington Railroad Bridge is what is known locally as the Lock Bridge, because there are many locks attached to the railing of the walkway.
Why here: get close up and examine the many unique locks, or just go for a colorful and interesting backdrop for your favorite pose.
Location: behind Basil Bandwagon, through the gate and you’re there (map).
Best time to go: daytime so you can see all the details and colors.
Lambertville Graffiti Train
This old train car has been sitting for years, and it is layered with colorful spray paints, markers, and sometimes stickers. Climb inside to get photos that are everything from spooky to spectacular, but be careful. The train is rusty.
Why here: use the train car as a canvas, or just show part of it as a colorful backdrop. Think band photo, fashion shoot, or edgy engagement pic.
Location: go north on Lambert Lane, keep going on the trail (see it on a map).
Best time to go: daylight hours, because the train trolls come out at night.
Truck Storefront
Enter Lambertville onto Bridge Street from Route 29, and it’s hard not to notice the old, green truck sitting on the front porch at the Zinc Home storefront.
The vehicle, which appears to be a 1950s Jeep Jeepster VJ (just the cab, look for the rest inside), has been attracting second glances for nearly ten years.
Why here: use wide shots or close ups to incorporate the Jeep in creative ways. Any true lover of Lambertville will know exactly where you are.

String Light Alley
This open, well-lit alley is a great backdrop for selfie, influencer, or engagement photographers looking to capture that rustic, industrial Lambertville vibe.
