Pedernales River — Hwy 290 Crossing
The Pedernales River Alliance lists the Highway 290 East bridge as a publicly accessible crossing, but no operator presents it as a recreation facility. Parking, pedestrian access, restrooms, launch facilities, and legal access beyond the public road right-of-way are unverified. Do not stop on the highway or assume nearby riverbanks are public.

Publicly accessible river crossing located at the bridge on Hwy 290E.
Good to know
Is the Highway 290 crossing a managed recreation site?
No. Sources identify a public crossing, but not an operated park, designated swimming area, paddling launch, or scenic pullout.
Is parking or pedestrian access available?
No official source documents parking or pedestrian access. Do not stop on the highway or enter private land to reach the water.
Where should I go for river recreation instead?
Use a managed park or designated public access point with posted rules, parking, and current safety information rather than relying on this highway crossing.
