The bridge is a great vantage point to enjoy views of Austin and the lake. There are beautiful flower beds, space for social distancing, and benches to take in the Austin skyline. A sunset walk on the bridge is highly recommended.

One of my favorite spots in Austin. You can see folks get married, dance, get engaged, music, film videos, and even commercials. The best place to take a selfie with the Austin skyline in the backdrop or turn around and you can witness an amazing sunset!

If youre driving here, come via congress and park on riverside drive. The parking is free with a bit of scenic walk. The bridge/park is great, has benches for people and allows pets.

This bridge is essential in getting pedestrians across from South Lamar to the downtown area. It is spacious and kept clean. There are benches on both sides, able to sit out and look at the water. Dog-friendly, bike-friendly!

This is a fantastic walkway along Ladybird Lake. There are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 mile loops for any level of exercise. The wildflowers are gorgeous and the area is very well cared for. The views of the Colorado River and downtown Austin are gorgeous.

Beautiful bridge used to cross Lady Bird Lake! The bridge connects the north and south sides of the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, which is an excellent trail for exploring the area around Lady Bird Lake. Nice overlook. Excellent views. Good spot to snap some photos! The bridge is wide enough to accommodate bikers and pedestrians. A ton of metal benches are available for resting and people watching. The loopedy-loo ramp at one end was the funnest thing ever to ride down on a bike! Highly recommended!

Great place to sit/stand over the water. Watch the sunrise and the sunset. Youll catch some of the prettiest sunsets on any given day. Looking at city and boats at night is enjoyable too.

Super cute to walk through and get some nice views from Austin. To get to the bridge there are stairs and also have ramps of you are on a bike, a stroller or with someone on a wheelchair. Be aware it gets super hot here during the summer time and there is no shade anywhere on the bridge, so make sure to bring a hat if during the summer.

The Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge is yet another great place in Austin to view the skyline, walk, or people watch. Whether you are a local or a visitor I certainly recommend visiting. My favorite time to go is after 9pm because parking is much cheaper and easier to find, there are far fewer people and the skyline is lit up. Cheers!

I suppose I should have insisted that the dish be prepared properly. When I ordered the signature Magnolia Omelette, I expected the omelet covered with the lemon sour cream sauce and mine had very little of the lemon sour cream sauce to heat the other ingredients. At a slow time of day I expect a little more care in the food prep. My omelette was served with cool unmelted cheese and the vegetable ingredients at room temperature. It seems the egg ingredients were fully cooked and then the filling was added and the sides turned over.The pancake was perfect.

Wonderful way to get across the river from downtown. Its also a great place to people watch.

Review №43

This is my an awesome bridge to vie the city from. Though I can’t remember when they built this bridge but It sure makes it much easier to cross over. The city side is gorgeous I live the way they designed the ramp down. That bridge wasn’t always connected here but what a great vantage point if the city. The negative is They need to remove the squatters from the bridge they constantly are swearing and doing drugs so for that they lose a star.

Review №44

I wish they had a fast lane for people that just want to cross the bridge. You can encounter: music - recorded or live, photo sessions, video/commercial shoots, scooters, bikes, dogs, interesting people and great views of downtown

Its an amazing place. There are jogging/ bike/ walking trails. We had someone in a wheelchair with us and there was almost nothing we couldnt do. The sunset from the bridge was amazing. While we watched the sunset, a couple got married, a woman sang some opera like song, a young man played his guitar and sang numerous songs. All in all our excursion was quite memorable.

Pretty nice bridge to take pictures, go on a walk, or relax. I do not know why people would give 1 or 2 stars to this bridge because it certainly did not hurt them.

Cool place for just about anything humans can do in public. There is, for example, a group of percussion folk that meets there to play. Zillions of dogs taking their people for a walk. All ages of people in all shapes.

The pedestrian bridge has one of the nicest views of the sunset in the city. There is plenty of room for walkers, runners, bikers, performance artists, and people sitting on benches. The interperative signs give some fascinating insight into the public figures who developed the area around the lake into a better public greenspace.

The best views of central Austin and all of the different types of people who cross thebridge on foot, bicycle, skateboard etc. Youre looking down on Lady Bird lake ie the Colorado river as it cuts through Austin. At night your treated to gorgeous sunsets and all of downtown Austin Lagos or before you.

I wasnt sure that this was necessary when we were spending the money to build it. I am big enough to admit that I was wrong. Really wrong. Easy route across the river (Town Lake) for people and bikes with some of the best views of our continuously changing skyline. I take more pictures here than anywhere else.

I am so glad they finished the pedestrian bridge when they did. It crosses over and makes it super convenient to ride your bike over to Whole Foods. It overlooks the lake/river/thing. So beautiful, especially at night. Beware of hobos.
