Confirmed from The boardwalk at the port'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.
Boardwalk near the river which also acts as a clean walking path and fishing spot.
What runners say about The boardwalk at the port
“It’s was pretty clean and well lit.”
“The full connection from Rivergate Park to the preservation tract makes for a scenic, relaxing walk with amazing views of the North Fork of the Saint Lucie River.”
“Very enjoyable and peaceful walk.”
It’s was pretty clean and well lit. Has plenty of walk space, and a decent length walk down . It seems that an extension is being added along with a possible parking lot . Idk but the Cuban coffee place at the end of the shopping strip is really good . Pricy but good
This is a short nice trail. It is good for walking dog, walking short distance or fishing with family. The trail is too short to go for a walk.
Very nice place to eat lunch. Love to be by the river. They seem to still be building part of it so it will have a cut off, but overall is a nice place to walk. Catch a sunset or a sunrise
One if the prettiest views around. Nice for a casual walk with ur loved one, or if u like to fish! Grab you a sangria to go from tacos n beer (their food is 🔥 👏) for the walk lol very convenient and their really refreshing! 😃
