Llano River — Downtown Bridge Crossing

Gold Mining Site TX • Llano County County
Description
Highway 16 / 29 bridge over the Llano River in downtown Llano. Granite rapids below the bridge and Grenwelge Park banks — a popular family tubing and gold-panning reach in the county seat.
Historical Notes
The main highway bridge carries Texas 16 and 29 across the Llano River at the county seat. Visit Llano recommends the area below the bridge and alongside Grenwelge Park for tubing and family river recreation; panning for gold is listed as free at public city access points. Bedrock ledges and gravel bars immediately downstream of the bridge concentrate fine placer gold after high flows. The town dam and Badu Park impoundment lie upstream; this crossing marks the lively free-flowing reach through downtown. Park only in designated areas; respect city ordinances and anglers. Related entries document Grenwelge Park, Badu Park, and the Llano Gold & Treasure Fest hub.
