This is the second time on my visits here that I've walked along the river. Last time I was south of town coming north, but this time I picked up the trail on 9th street, downtown. Parking is available along this stretch or you can easily walk here from the central city area. It's a nice shady walk following the river as it begins to curve northeast. Some benches along the way and you'll even pass a stairwell which will take you up to the street and a Chinese restaurant. But if you continue following the trail system under the road you'll pass through some developed park areas and, crossing the river, eventually up to 32nd street where you can cross the bridge back to Main Avenue. Ride the trolley back into town from here. Or you can walk it. But it's another 2 miles to return.

Great walking trail along the river. Very easy to walk or bike; all paved. Several parks along the way. Highly recommend.
