Confirmed from Conway Riverwalk's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Tranquil path bordering the Waccamaw River, with benches, grassy areas & playgrounds along the way.

Great little river walk in conway. It is well kept and maintained. Some parts are not that wheelchair accessible. But other then that its a great little place to bring the kids on the weekend or just a fun free thing to do to get out of the house. Sometimes they have farmers market and other small events here also
Very good place for Christmas to visit. Really reach Christmas decoration. You can find the hot chocolate and post express train. Make sure you pick up the day it's not weekend. Because the lines can be really long. Very pleasant experience. And the recommend everybody to check it out.
Conway Riverwalk is one of my favorite places to visit! It’s extremely family & kid friendly — my kids always love the park and running around by the riverwalk. They always do amazing decorations and activities for every holiday, especially Halloween and Christmas.
Absolutely love this place. Its great exercise, walking, or even a date. Very peaceful and relaxing. The views of the water are pretty. Around Halloween they decorate.
