The Riverwalk is just that. You walk along the River and see the tour boats cruising, see the amazing architecture from the River's side and lots of earteries along the walk. Great during the heat of the summerand during sweater weather. Lots of steps to get down to the River level and watch for dog walkers too.

This might have been my favorite part of Chicago! The Riverwalk is spectacular! On one side you have skyscrapers and city and on the other side you have a lake that feels like an ocean. Nothing like it! We rented bikes and had a blast riding through one of the most bikeable cities, lots of bike lanes and we felt pretty safe!

This is a constantly expanding attraction. I like to walk it when going from the train stations to a Michigan Avenue or Navy Pier destination. Lots to see along the way and places to stop for a snack or drink. Amazing how clean the river is these days after being nearly a sewer may years back.

The Riverwalk is one the best places to visit when in Chicago. There are actually two foot paths, aligning both sides of the river. The paths are full of shops, ice cream parlors, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars giving you options in case you get hungry while strolling. This is a scenic way to get from side of the city to another. I felt relatively safe while walking, it was well kept, and well lighted at night time, though I recommend keeping up current events in the city, to make sure of your safety. The river walk is home to many docks, where many people keep their pleasure boats, as well as, a few touring companies, that have tours up river deeper into the city, or down to the Lake Michigan. Weather permitting you'll be able to see folks take their boats out or have parties. As the Riverwalk expands, so those the entertainment, docks, and food scene. on my next visit to Chicago, I will revisit the Riverwalk, to take a boat tour, and relax strolling through.

We enjoyed our walk along the river, actually did it several times. Stopped at the Northman (?) for an expensive can of wine and a beer, - just a nice way to spend an hour or so watching the boats go by.

This is a must do thing on a trip to Chicago. It is a lovely riverside walk alongside the Chicago river at the bottom of the Magnificent Mile. The place to catch another must do thing -the Architecture River Cruise. - Really brings the Chicago Skyline to life. Plenty of opportunities to sit, eat drink along the Riverwalk .

I didn't think we had time to visit the Riverwalk but the hunt for cheaper parking helped us end up there. Definitely a nice place for a stroll or even for outdoor dining. It offers a different view of Chicago's skyscrapers. It's also fun watching the numerous boats going by.

What a beautiful new addition to Chicago. We found the Riverwalk after a long morning walking down the Mag Mile. The restaurants and bars have a great vibe. We went late morning and by lunch they were very busy. We were told that creating a riverwalk was now mandatory for new builds next to the river - great idea!

Trail Series, Part 17 If you’re wanting to explore the Chicago River and are feeling all “Sporty Spice”, we’d recommend that you try walking or running along the Chicago Riverwalk. End to end you’re only talking about 1.5 miles of flat, paved trail, so this experience is accessible to nearly all travelers. We found the trail pretty busy during the early evening, so safety was not a concern whatsoever (even if enjoying it alone at a similar time of day). However, the amount of foot traffic did make running at our desired pace challenging. While bikes, skateboards, etc. are permitted, just know that you’ll be doing a good deal of weaving and bobbing around others. You’ll find numerous restaurants (and a public restroom) in case you are interested in either and the photo opportunities are seemingly endless. If you’re searching for a safe (and free) way to enjoy the Chicago River, this one is hard to beat. And that’s…Henry’s Take. #chicagoriver #chicagoexcercise

The Chicago Riverwalk is fabulous! Beautiful, clean and tidy area, with a great choice of bars and restaurants. We felt very safe, and it wasn't expensive. Perfect way to enjoy the river or just for people watching. Would definitely recommend a river or lake boat trip to fully enjoy the Chicago skyline and buildings, and there are plenty to choose from.
