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!

Vendors closed for the season and will return in spring 2020!
