Confirmed from Floating Bridge Lake Weatherford's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Floating walkway over Lake Weatherford with a bench and information display about the lake’s fish species.
What runners say about Floating Bridge Lake Weatherford
“Short walk or longer, beautiful walkway over the lake with stunning views and even places to stop for photo ops or fishing.”
“We enjoyed a wonderful educational experience as well as a peaceful time spent in nature.”
What a hidden treasure, lived in the area my whole life and never knew this place was here. Short walk or longer, beautiful walkway over the lake with stunning views and even places to stop for photo ops or fishing. The wildlife is plentiful. I saw the most gorgeous incandescent sky blue and emerald green dragonflies.
It's fun. It's a nice walk, and there might not be a lot of water. However It's still nice. My kids enjoyed it a lot.
Nice trail across the water to walk with the family. Had plenty of benches and railing for safety. Easy place to spend a few hours to relax.
Beautiful place to go for a walk. Bring water and something to wipe sweat from your face if you go during Summer.
