    Right before you hit the bridge, there's an area for off-road parking. Park, climb up the semi-hidden trail, and enjoy the magnificent view of the lake in the day, the sunset, or stars at night.

    Photos do not enough justice to this place, the view is great and it's pretty easy to get there and also climb up to enjoy the view

    It's worth noting that Pennybacker Bridge is only anchored on land - it doesn't bear any weight underwater. The bridge was named after Texas Department of Transportation engineer Percy V. Pennybacker

    I thought Austin was eco-friendly and conscious. I haven't seen this much trash and litter since the 80's.

    Short but slightly steep sunset hike, wear trail shoes for loose gravel and somewhat slick rock surfaces ... #bestview

    A good angle for the photo but nothing out of the world. Do not have high expectations.
