Confirmed from Roswell 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.
Tranquil park, popular for walking and cycling, featuring views of the Chattahoochee River.
What runners say about Roswell Riverwalk Boardwalk
“Thoroughly enjoyed walking this trail, beautiful scenery, groundskeepers were diligent in keeping the environment clean, met friendly people and had great time of birdwatching.”
“Pretty walkway along the river great for a run or bike ride.”
“Peaceful trails with great views and you'd be seeing all kinds of wildlife - birds, fish, deer and if you get lucky, others too.”
This is a great place to walk and see nature. I have been going here since it was completed and still find some amazing things to see. If you are a photographer like me, you will find plenty of opportunities to take pictures of all kinds of birds. There are also a few that you only see when they migrate.
One of my favorite spots to go for outdoor exercise and a chance to be around nature. From Riverside Underpass to Willeo Park, this trail goes past boat docks for fishing and water sports, pavilions for picnics, playgrounds for children, St.
Absolutely gorgeous park with miles of wide, fairly accessible trails and sidewalks. The boardwalk portion is accessible by parking on the shoulder nearby (make sure to keep all wheels off the road to prevent ticketing), or by parking at the trailhead (limited spots available).
Lovely boardwalk, ideal for morning and evening walks, jogs. The place is so calm and peaceful. Entry is completely free. Only concern is with respect to parking. No alloted parking area here.
