I took my children down this walk. There were places to stop with pipe instruments set up. My children loved this, and we also took part in the Pika Hunt. Found two of them on this walk. Beautiful and fun!

Estes Park River walk is simply lovely. The dappled sunlight filtering through the trees was beautiful. If you start at the visitors center, follow the sidewalk as the river meanders. Benches and cafe table behind the eclectic shops invite you to sit and take in the beauty.

This is a great way to familiarize yourself to Estes Park. The sound of the river is soothing. There are benches along the way to stop and soak it in. Little shops and restaurants are available for a meal or a snack. Plus the elk were rutting so they were present in abundance. Much nicer walk to get around than the Main Street.

This is a lovely Riverwalk. The river runs by and the sound is soothing. Plenty of benches along the walk to rest and spend a few quiet moments.

Very nice, accessible walk next to the river. Be aware that Estes Park seems to be finished with COVID awareness. No masks, no social distancing. It's very, very crowded with (mostly) out of state tourists.

After arriving in the afternoon in Estes Park, we spent some time strolling along the river walk after dinner to relax and enjoy the sound of the waters running over the rocks.

A welcome retreat from the bustle of an often bustling tourist town is the back side of the main shopping district in Estes Park. It offers a quiet rest bit with calming running clean waters of a local river. Many merchants offer a back door to choose this option from their establishment. Take some time to stroll. There are also some restaurants that offer riverside dining. Do as we did and get an ice cream and decompress along the river. If you are fortunate, you can see a local creating a sketch or painting of the area. It appears to be the road less travelled and is a vacation within a vacation.

Riverwalk makes it easy to navigate the shops and enjoy a scenic walk. The pathway along the river is relaxing and convenient.

YES! This is the main reason we chose Estes for our Labor Day trip. Super dog friendly. We were able to stroll along the Riverwalk with our large dog stroller. The pathway is very well-maintained.

Is the park dog-friendly?

City of Estes Park is one of the most dog friendly communities I have ever visited. They have so many visitors that come with their pets that the Stanley Hotel even has a separate building (big lodge) right next to the main Hotel for people traveling with pets.
Many dogs along the riverwalk area in Estes and plenty of friendly places to stop and grab a bite to eat with your dog. The restaurants put out dog bowls filled with water too!
Kudos to the City of Estes for being very dog progressive!

where do we start if we want to see all of riverwalk? does the visitor's center lead to it?

There is lots of free parking at the visitors center so it is a great place to start, otherwise it can be difficult to find parking right downtown. The river walk starts right across the street from the visitors center. There is a pedestrian tunnel that goes under the street.

is there any hotels along the river walk?

As others have said, there really aren't any hotels right on the Riverwalk. There are many nearby and the free shuttle stops at many of them; a great resource to get into town and not have to worry about parking. The shuttle is also the way to go if you want to see the Stanley Hotel without paying the ridiculous parking fee that they now charge just to get in and see the hotel.
