Overview
Twin Bridges, located on one of Waco Lake's sandy beaches, is ideal for families and friends to enjoy picnicking, sightseeing and water activities, all while staying within the Waco city limits.
Recreation
The main lake shoreline has a large amount of submerged timber, which typically holds fish year-round. Anglers will find plenty of catfish, crappie, large and smallmouth bass as well as sunfish.
Swimming beaches, boat ramp and dock all help visitors enjoy the lake.
Facilities
Twin Bridges has two swimming beaches, horseshoe pits, a covered playground and a sand volleyball court. The group shelters can accommodate up to 225 guests.
Natural Features
The shelter is located on the west shore of the Waco Lake. The lake is primarily fed by the Bosque River, which runs for 115 miles through central Texas.
Nearby Attractions
Horseback riding, hiking and biking can be done on the 20-mile Lacy Point Hiking and Biking Trail. The trail is accessible from the Lacy Point boat ramp or Reynolds Creek Park.

From I-35, take exit 330B Hwy 6 N toward Meridian for about 6 miles. After passing over the lake on the Twin Bridges, take the first exit toward Lake Waco/Speegleville Park. Turn left on the access road and the park entrance will be on the right.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 2.6 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
