Description

Public parking is available at river right, above the bridge (this is part of Bull Creek District Park.)

This bridge (which was rebuilt in 2011) is known to pose a serious sieve/splat hazard when the creek is at a good level for whitewater boating. Previously, this was a low-water crossing, and the water flowed right over it, but now the bridge is similar in nature to the Guadalupe River bridge at Gruene.
