Suggestions for Bridge near Downtown Austin, Austin

Andrew C. • May 28, 2019Any space that prioritizes pedestrians/cyclists over cars is the best kind of space... southern edge of this bridge is right in the heart of the hike and bike trail along the river/lake!!!

Himmad K. • June 30, 2013When on the bridge, get as close as you can over the water for the best view

Jay J. • June 17, 2013Bring something to drink (with cozies *ahem* ) and some snacks. Sit under the bridge, and watch the sunset, with your feet in the water. It's pretty much "The Good Life." (pls pack out your trash!)

Jay W. • October 26, 2013This is the best way to cross the river/"lake." Unless you have one of those spy-movie boat cars. Whatever you do, don't try to ford the river, you'll do definitely die.

desiree B. • September 8, 2018Easy parking. No door dings. Bathrooms & water nearby.

Darryl K. • July 13, 2012A great way to see downtown Austin, and soak up a little of the Lance Armstrong vibe.
