Part of Waco Lake

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.

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.
