CHICAGO RIVERWALK
WELCOME TO THE
CHICAGO RIVERWALK!
FREE | OPEN 6AM -11PM
The City of Chicago is pleased to welcome you to the Chicago Riverwalk! The 1.25-mile long path has been constructed in phases over time and includes four distinct districts; The Confluence, The Arcade, The Civic, and the Esplanade. The Chicago River is a treasured natural amenity in the urban canyon of world famous architecture and the Chicago RiverwaIk allows a close proximity to the waterway. The continuous path from Lake Street to the lake front also allows a vertical connection from Upper Wacker Drive down to the waterway. The new Community Marketplace and the concessions program are closed for the winter, but will return in Spring of 2020.
