Confirmed from Riverwalk Boardwalk'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.
What runners say about Riverwalk Boardwalk
“The surrounding grounds are well kept & look lovely.”
“Great outdoor space to relax with family while watching the kids play swing and slide before taking a walk on the boardwalk and watch the beautiful sun sets”
“The setting sun painted the sky in hues of pink and orange, giving way to the serene beauty of the moonlit night.”
Absolutely amazing! A beautiful piece of nature. Boardwalk was very serene, it is lit up at night time. There are ample restroom facilities and Pavilions available for rental. With Grill and Lighting. Boardwalk is very wide and can accommodate many people built very well with Trex decking.
This is a nice board walk with several access points and nature views on the St. Lucie River. It will be even better once it extends under the bridge and connects to the PSL Botanical Gardens.
This is a wonderful family friendly location during the day. There is plenty of wildlife to see, and plenty of fish to catch. For night fishermen, you will be glad to know the structure is lit at night. You can either enter by the gas station or by the McDonald’s. Both sides are great.
This is a great park to put your boat in the water, the ramps are never over crowded. They have three ramps . There are bathrooms you can cross the street to buy snacks for your trip . There are lots of shops publix, Jimmy John's, little ceasar pizza.

“Great outdoor space to relax with family while watching the kids play swing and slide before taking a walk on the boardwalk and watch the beautiful sun sets”

“The twinkling lights from nearby boats added to the enchantment, casting a shimmering reflection on the water.”
“The setting sun painted the sky in hues of pink and orange, giving way to the serene beauty of the moonlit night.”
“Not to worry, plenty of Parking, and Space to Roam or set up a Lounge Chair and Picnic.”
