Confirmed from Historic Arkansas 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.
Riverfront promenade with family-oriented activities & events including boat rides & concerts.
What runners say about Historic Arkansas Riverwalk
“The Riverwalk is clean and has shops and restaurants lining the walking areas.”
“Nice walk Beautiful artwork around as you walk you & Some restaurants You can also read some historical facts and if you play Pokémon There are Pokémon stops (GO BLUE TEAM) lol”
Very nice area to walk in. It’s clean and well maintained. Several places to east along the way. Nice public art to view. Distances noted along walkway to support walkers. Beautifully done. In late morning there were a good number of people out, but was not at all crowded.
On a trip to Pueblo, we ventured along the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk and had an amazing time. The walk is filled with sculptures and artwork that add a unique charm to the trail. You can take a boat tour along the river or rent a pedal boat to cruise around.
We loved this walk along the river. There are so many statues, sculptures, informative signs, and pretty artwork along the trail. You can take a boat tour along the river or rent a peddle boat and cruise around the little pond there. There's so much along the way, it was so fun.
Located in the heart of downtown Pueblo, the Riverwalk is modeled after the famous San Antonio Riverwalk, and offers a variety of activities and attractions for everyone to enjoy. It really does feel like the lifeline of the city, with a plethora of restaurant options lining the river bank.

“One point deducted is because we had a hard time finding an open public restroom anywhere around the riverwalk.”
