    Beautiful riverside park area. The grounds are well kept, and well groomed. It's nice to see people out on the river with their watercraft, enjoying themselves. There's also a nice path to walk on, which runs the length of the park. It also has many benches to sit on and relax oneself. On the far end on one side is a playground. It has one parking lot on either end of the park. There is also a bathroom area, with one or two stalls each. Honestly, this is the part of the park I do not like, since it is usually smelly and dirty and out of toilet paper most times. The park is beautiful, but they need to give the restroom area the same energy and care as that of the rest of the park.

    When you drive past this park, take a moment to park and look at the beautiful scenery. The visitor area shows history of Clarksville, and the view is delightful, especially as you traverse down the stairs or ramp towards the river.

    Been enjoying since I was a toddler. Wish we could swim in a clean river, but that EPA, not parks and rec. @city officials, let's build a swing set for adults too.

    I can see from the road that it was a boat at the dock, and I am glad I stopped. It was breathtaking. It was a beautiful boat to look at it. I was glad to be able to take pictures.

    We enjoy walking here. We like watching the Cumberland River and seeing the confluence of the Red River. It's always fun to watch barges go down the river while you take a walk. The railroad bridge is a swing bridge to allow large vessels pass through. Today it was swung open leading us to wonder if a steamboat passed through and imagine the lovely sight that would be. Most of the other walkers had dogs, so a great place to bring your canine friends. Today we went inside the Cumberland River exhibit and learned a lot of history. It was a pleasant way to spend some time while getting in our steps.

    We go to see the Christmas lights every year. If you go a bit early, there’s a vendor fair right before Thanksgiving. The kids like the playground too.

    This is a fantastic environment over seeing the river bend. The grounds are kept superbly clean, the trees are professional lit for the holidays and you're sure to always find a friendly face.

    It was raining when I went, but I had a fine time. There was a bout there still there today, actually. It was fine. They had a room inside I wasn't able to go in. They had a lot of seating, but it was outside, and of course, it was raining . Just keep that in mind.

    The colorful trees made the park beautiful even on a cloudy day.

    I just love this Riverside walk & park! It’s an excellent place to take walk and watch the recreational boats & barge traffic. I’ve even found it rather peaceful to read a book near shaded picnic areas (be mindful of the ants though😬). Also not a bad location to meet a date for the first time, as there’s a lot of people there. I wished the police did a better job at keeping the bums away… but this is a sign of the times. I even saw a sailboat berth over night, on its continuing passage returning for the season. I highly recommend u checkout this park & boat launch. Don’t venture past the playground area though (too many drunks & junkies hangout that way). See y’all there! 😁👍👍🇺🇸

    Picturesque place! I love watching the water. They're putting up their Christmas decorations! It's absolutely beautiful when done.

    Very clean fun park. Great place to go with children. Such beautiful views and great for family photos. Or for the kids to burn off some energy. Even a cute date outdoors. 5 stars.

    Consistently just okay. Walked the christmas riverwalk for more than a decade, and the only thing that's changed is the number of people there, and the sudden absense of christmas music. It's boring as hell now. At this point, clarksville is so overrun that the riverwalk would benefit more from a widening and extension than some goofy lights that repeat every single year.

    A beautiful park located alongside the Cumberland River. A nice size parking lot and clean restroooms on site. The park has several picnic areas, a playground, a BCycle station, and a boat ramp, as well as the "the River Flows Museum," depicting Clarksville's rich river history. The park is also home to the Clarksville RiverWalk, a 2-mile walking trail that connects on the south end to the Upland Trail via the Pedestrian Overpass at College Street, and on the north end at the Red River across from the Clarksville Greenway. It's also dog friendly with many dog waste areas and bins along the walk. I was disappointed, however, to see so much trash and litter along the rocks and waterway. As well as a lot of hooks and fishing lines. I picked up every hook I saw and disposed of them in my short walk as well as multiple glass beer bottles. I will never understand why anyone litters or how anyone thinks nothing of it as they toss it among nature??? There were several trash cans scattered about. Just no excuses. Im also surprised the employees dont clean up the debris and trash??? Especially all the hooks and lines that endanger the birds, fish, and all wildlife.

    Nice to sit by the water. Be careful spider webs on black railing near water. There are bugs or Nats later in the evening, at least when I went. It's nice to walk in the evening 😊

    If you have young kids, this is the best stop between Alabama and Illinois. The playground is very nice and right on the Cumberland River. The view is beautiful. The river walk is great for stretching your legs. Lots of picnic tables in the shade. Bathrooms are clean and well kept. There’s a convenient pathway to the Wendy’s next door so you don’t have to get back in the car or cross the street to get some food. So glad we found this place.

    We went to see the Christmas lights and decor and it was very nice, it's a very well kept park with people and children in mind. My husband and I enjoyed it very much!

    Love the park and riverwalk. This year we went to Christmas in the Cumberland and it's was even more magical. To top it off, it's free!!!

    Grounds well maintained for the most part. Occasional trash. The bathrooms were locked up for some reason but had a fun playground for the kiddos to play on.

  • 5/5 DL H. 1 year ago on Google
    Always has shady places available. Nice areas to walk. Pet friendly. Kid friendly. And beautifully kept grounds. I love the pond and the opportunity for fishing. It's a great place to bring the kids as well as a nice place for adults to commune with nature.

    Great place to relax and have your kids enjoy bike riding, ride scooter, enjoy boats viewing and great playground, sit on a swing and relax. Also you can cross a small bridge to go to Wendy's for a ice steam 🌹💕💕

    Nice find! This park has plenty to do and see. I enjoyed the pavilion with all of the history kiosks. There is plenty of walking paths on the river as well as a play ground for the kids.

    My toddler loves to run around here. The playground is great, however, I wish they had swings. The walk along the river is very beautiful. The whole place is usually kept very clean.
