Confirmed from 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.

This is a great park to go walk your dog on your leash. You can rent kayaks go out into the bay. If you’re in this area make sure you stop there and go on a kayak or walk your dog. Sometimes I have some festivals. There’s also a great place to wake up early and go to the sunrise and watch it come over the the bridge.

I have been here many, many times with my dog. If you go early in the morning, you may see some dolphins swimming!! So cool! There are kayak rentals available, picnic tables, a kid's play fountain with water, an outdoor shower, public ramp for kayak or canoes and public restrooms that are clean.

Riverwalk park is such a nice recreation area in Port Orange. You can go there to work out, walk, ride your 🚲, you can take your children here, they have a nice playground area and splash park!!

★★★★★ — María , Jan 2023

Great park for all ages. I love taking my dog for a walk here. The kids playground and splash park where huge hits a couple years ago but my kids outgrew them. But they are well kept up and very clean. So are the restrooms. It's my favorite park in the area.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
