    What makes it fun

    The James D. Pfluger Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge is a shared use bridge for pedestrians and cyclists spanning Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin. Completed in 2001, the bridge connects the north and south shores of the lake and the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail and was constructed with an unusual "double curve" design. Boasting fantastic views of the city skyline during the day and at night with especially exceptional views at sunrise or sunset this bridge is a local favorite. Popular with tourists as well this bridge offers the opportunity to get that perfect postcard photo of the city in the background of any special moment you choose to capture!

    Beautiful views from the bridge. Lots of seating so you can sit and enjoy the scenery. Occasionally there will be buskers playing music. Come during sunset! The lighting is perfect.

    Great exhibits detailing lots of history of the Black journey from slave to Juneteenth. Saw dance classes taking place on the theater and space being used for HCBU informational tables. Adjacent to the library.

    Cute, simple and yet ever so iconic- this red on green mural is on the side of Jo’s Coffee. Everyone coming to Austin really must (and probably does) take a photo with this super original mural!There’s almost always a long line of people waiting to get their photos so you will have to waitThe story: Amy Cook, musician, spray painted this for her partner, Liz Lambert on the side of the coffee shop they own. Ever since they redo it every time they repaint the wall. A quirky, lovely Austin story that’s now become THE spot for everyone to take photos, but especially couples ❤️

    Tip: This bridge will cross you over Cesar Chavez if you cross on the straight brown bridge. The spiral will take you to the other side of the trail. This a great spot for a bench picnic, people watching and a place to just take the view in! Great view of the lake, Lamar bridge and the newest Austin Skyline! I usually stop here for a break on my trail runs. I love my hometown! Austin is so beautiful 😍
