Confirmed from North Shore Riverwalk Park'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.
City park featuring a riverwalk, trails, and a bridge, plus space for kids.
What runners say about North Shore Riverwalk Park
“Also a beautiful bridge with a great walkway to access the south side of the river for more trails, kids play areas , etc.”
I love walking along the river it's absolutely beautiful. The only thing that needs to be changed it the depiction of my native people. I'm Lumbee Native from North Carolina, and I live here now. This must have been painted in the 60s. You all should pay someone to paint over this. What's with the Knight?
Nice park with paved trails along the river with some benches and larger open grass area as well. Also a beautiful bridge with a great walkway to access the south side of the river for more trails, kids play areas , etc... Walking, running, biking or Roller Skating
Excellent place to go for a jog or walk. It connects to riverview park if you continue going up river. Fantastic river views all the way. Only watch out for people biking on the same trail. Opposite direction walking or jogging is strongly recommended
The walk is great. Beautiful homes nicely paved trail for walking and biking alike. Breeze off water is wonderful. The ring around the full snow moon stole the show. I visit from time to time.
