My son and I wanted to kill some time before dinner so we went down the river walk. They had a lot going on. We enjoyed watching the zip liners and wishing we were skinny enough to do that. We enjoyed the children playing on the play ground equipment and watching them play in the area where the water shoots up in the air. We took a walk down by the river and felt safe at all times and it was good to see families out enjoying themselves

Beautiful atmosphere. Great place to walk with family or friends. We walked across the bridge from Georgia to Alabama. Stunning views of the water and waterfalls. Had a great time visiting here with my son who is in the Army.

A scenic pathway that is very nice and a must see while in Columbus. You can bike or walk/run. It's a very long stretch so you can make it a short or long stretch. Best hotels along the walk are the Hotel Indigo (a little more "central") and City Mills hotel (this one is on the farther end). The Marriott is about 2 blocks in from the River Walk. There is a rock island you can go onto to enjoy the scenery or watch the kayakers/rafters navigate the rapids. Farther down the trail there is a cool bridge area. You can use this pathway to ride or walk to the Civil War Naval Museum (the distance depends on where you're starting from)

We arrived in Columbus just early enough to visit before dark. The Riverwalk stretches quite a ways, but we were only able to see the portion near downtown, which is also a charming stroll. I would recommend budgeting at least a few hours to walk through the downtown and Riverwalk area.

Miles of a beautiful river and clean outdoor environment! Even more beautiful on site. The southern year round weather makes it so easy to plan to hangout. Have a hands free backpack of snacks and water.

Trail Series, Part 27 “Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee. Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me. But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was. A lot about livin’ and a little ‘bout love.” Alan Jackson I remember when Alan released this song in ‘93 and (having never visited the South to that point) I wondered if he invented some magical river called the “Chattahoochee” because it made for such a catchy guide vocal. Now that we’ve seen some of what Alan was singing about while on the “Chattahoochee River Walk” in Columbus, Georgia, it makes me wonder if the lyrics to his song could actually be semi-autobiographical. 🤷‍♂️ This trail runs parallel to the river and offers a consistent connection to it during your adventure. Walkers, runners, cyclists, and leashed dogs are all welcome here and from a safety standpoint I’d assign it a perfect score during daylight hours. Those with mobility challenges should not be dissuaded from enjoying it because it is well maintained, mostly flat, and easily accommodates wheelchairs, baby strollers, etc. While I typically elect to run most of the trails that we review, I quite enjoyed causally meandering along this one. And that’s…Henry’s Take. #chattahoochee #alanjackson #columbustrails
