Must See Sights and Landmarks in Lake Waco Area

"There is nothing more iconic and historical to the state of Texas than the Waco suspension bridge, built two centuries ago. Go out in the open, and enjoy the sights of the Brazos River, the 11th largest River in America, walk the more than 3 million bricks that form this beloved bridge. If you are planning a romantic date night, then the suspension bridge should be a part of it; at night, this popular spot becomes almost ethereal, with the Brazos River reflecting the moonlight."

"Waco’s historic Suspension Bridge has served as an icon for the city since 1836 when the bridge was completed, then the longest single-span suspension bridge west of the Mississippi. On the east and west side of the bridge are Martin Luther King and Indian Spring Parks, respectively, and accessible on either side is the Riverwalk which begins at Ft. Fisher Park, extends past the suspension bridge, and ends at the Herring Ave."

"The Waco Suspension Bridge is a single-span pedestrian suspension bridge that crosses the Brazos River. It was built and opened in 1870."

"Waco is home to Baylor University, therefore many visitors flock to Waco simply to attend college or a football game. This university is actually the oldest operating university in the Lone Star State. However, even if you’re not a student or a football fan, Baylor University has a lot to offer to the traveler."

"Owners (from left) Justin Veach, Keith Collier and Andy Soukup say the event room at Bare Arms Brewing, 2515 La Salle Ave., has been a great place for people to hold activities while enjoying one of their beers. As former engineers at L-3 and SpaceX, in retrospect it probably makes sense that the owners of Bare Arms Brewing not only got it off the ground, but have it already on a nice trajectory of success. Justin Veach, who started the company in 2015 with fellow L-3 mechanical engineer Keith Collier, admits it was one of the most exhilarating and most terrifying things he did when they launched their brewing business."

"Opened in June 2015, Bare Arms Brewing is Waco’s first brewpub. It’s a relaxed, welcoming, family-friendly destination owned by Keith Collier and Justin Veach. The brewery has six creations regularly on tap including Creekside American-style lager, Bluecat Ale (a blonde ale), and Java Joule (a coffee stout)."

"Even though sometimes we go through the drive thru and the line is long, it never takes too long getting you order."
