Description

Very limited parking is available on the river right downstream (southeast) side of the bridge, by accessing the highway easement via a turnout located near the end of the bridge guardrails.  If you are heading toward Bee Cave, this turnout will be on the right before you cross the bridge.  Despite being a high bridge, the abutment is gently sloped and can be used as a ramp for accessing the creek below.
