About the Camden Street Riverwalk Bridge
The Camden Street Riverwalk Bridge is a popular tourist attraction located at 1267-1279 Camden Street in San Antonio, Texas, United States. This unique institution is nestled under the I-35 Bridge where it crosses the San Antonio River near Camden Street, and is home to a colony of approximately 50,000 male Mexican free-tailed bats during the summer months. Visitors can witness the bats emerge for their nightly feedings of agricultural pests, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of these nocturnal mammals.
The Museum Reach segment of the San Antonio River Walk, where the bridge is located, offers a 1.3-mile hike and bike trail, public art installations, elegant water features, and access to restaurants and shops. The San Antonio River Authority, in partnership with Bat Conservation International and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, hosts annual "Bat Loco" events to educate the public about the importance of bats and bat conservation. The highlight of these events is the "Bat Loco Bash" in August, featuring live music, food trucks, educational booths, kids' activities, and, of course, the bats!
Visitors can view the bats from April through October at sunset, with the best viewing location being on river level at the intersection of Camden Street and Newell Avenue. With over 1,300 different kinds of bats found worldwide and 32 bat species in Texas, the Camden Street Riverwalk Bridge provides a unique opportunity to learn about these fascinating creatures.

Reviews of Camden Street Riverwalk Bridge
"Bats arrived just as the fish started to glow. Happens Fast!!"
"No bats but there were thugs. We literally had to double back to eventually get to our car. Sad cause some of the area is pretty."
"Batty...batty....batty. It's over quick... But still pretty cool."
"Very pretty place. It is a good place to have a walk. You can have a good time, a lot of places to eat. It gets kind of creepy after 10 pm, you must be careful. Walk with a dog if you are late, or have somebody's company if you are a women. It is for your safety."
"Awesome place to walk or just sit and relax."
