The Waco Suspension Bridge opened in 1870 as the first major bridge across the Brazos here, saving cattle drivers from a risky river crossing on the Chisholm Trail. It is pedestrian-only now, linking Indian Spring Park and Martin Luther King Jr. Park with a graceful sweep of cables and stone towers.
Come near sunset if you can. The bridge is an easy downtown walk, and the riverfront gives Waco its best sense of place.
