    One of the most beautiful cities in the world. One of the most beautiful parts of the city. If you have an experienced the Riverwalk you must! Take a tour boat. Visit the restaurants and bars along the riverwalk. Just sit and relax and people watch. There are endless places to sit and relax and unwind. This is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world.

    It may be the end of the Riverwalk, but it's the start of great people, dog and boat watching. This narrow park sports lots of seating and grassy play areas, and offers views of bridges and residential and corporate office towers.

    Easy walk from Ogilvie Transportation Center to well-marked entrance. Clean and wide walkway with beautiful views of the city's great architecture. Several security personnel along route made me feel safe, though it was mid-morning and somewhat bustling. Stopped for gelato and people watching just across from Marina City. The walk could use more retail options, but food and activity options (boat rides, kayaking, Segway) seemed appropriate.

    A beautiful path along the Chicago River to enjoy while seeing the architecture of the city, taking a nice stroll next to the water, or enjoying a glass of wine, beer, or food. Great green seating areas to take in the beauty of Chicago 😃.

    Enjoyed the view of the downtown building and river. It's not far from Union Station; was able to took a quick walk here while waiting for the train to see a bit of the city. Nice green space that people are enjoying and tons of tourists on the boat in the river.

    Amazing space - and re-opened (if you socially distance and wear face covering!). Look at the amazing circles on the lawn - in the Chicago flag! A Triumph! Stay safe!

    Awesome place to run, walk, or dog walk. Great green space, shielded from the wind, and lots of other friendly runners this morning.

    Explore the city from a completely different vantage point: the water. All while enjoying the great outdoors, you’ll paddle by the bustling Chicago Riverwalk, historic city bridges, and soaring skyscrapers. For a little extra excitement, opt for an evening kayak trip so you can catch the fireworks show that lights up the lake on Wednesdays and Saturdays every summer. Go to the Chicago Riverwalk where Urban Kayaks offers both guided tours and kayak rentals so you can explore on your own.

    The Riverwalk is a great place to sit in the middle of the city by the water. Restaurants, bars, boutiques, boats, shade, scenery and relaxation.
