Rode bicycles down there. Got memorized by how breathtaking, clean and beautiful the levee, oaks, river and surroundings are. There is even a bike tool rack on the levee path provided by the city in case you have a tire issue or something. We went just before sunset after the work crowds left. Very relaxing and fun place to ride/walk.
We had a really hard time to find public parking. Finally, we got into the public parking and pay $10 dollar for half day. There is a track on the side of river which is good for quick walk and roam around riverfront. There is historical war museum as well. We could not make it because it was closed for a day. It is good place to snaps picture and spend few hours with friends and family. The cool breezes from the river also add adventure of your time.You will definitely enjoy your time here.
Excellent view of the Mississippi River. Went there after dinner for a walk with family and loved it. There are bikes available if you want to ride. Surprisingly it was not at all crowded and you could sit peacefully there and appreciate the view. There is a train track parallel to the river. If you are traveling to Baton Rouge, this place is a must visit.
Great place to go chill will be better once its cleaned up a lil more
This is a wonderful place day or night for either you and the family or a casual date. A great plus would be that you can also enjoy the river view on a stroll by oneself, alone.
I love it always enjoy myself when Im there.
Up keep poor.... actual concept adorable... peacefulness of water...flow still great.....
Its very relaxing and beautiful
Good for people watching, bike riding, walking, sunset.
Beautiful walk and great place to watch the sun set
Great just alot of younger age kids out being loud
Good place to relax, and enjoy the Sunset.
It was amazing ! We found a Caribbean foodtruck, full of beautiful art, bikes for rent, and sitting.
The plaza has been revamped a lot since I was a child. We watched the sunset around 6:30 and then later that evening walked along the river. We were surprised at how beautiful the sunset was over the Mississippi. The walkway is well lit even at the darkest part of the night. It was pretty clean on the day we went.
Nice views peaceful and calming
It is a real peaceful place. A place where you can spend time with your family
Nice place to walk around and take in downtown.
Great place to go just to relax and enjoy your significant other
I love running at the levee on a daily basis prior to hitting the anytime fitness right off of government street ... they have a lot of events down town and this is a great place to take a stroll with family or even alone . It is pet friendly with water fountains equip for our furry friends ...
Soaking up the sun on the Mighty Mississippi!
Really nice place.
Always something to see
My husband and I decided to walk there again tonight had been there before. It was nice had plenty of lighting could seat on the benches or stairs. Its amazing to see the great Mississippi River up close and personal.
We always enjoy night time walks on the riverfront!
One of my favorite places in Baton Rouge. Only wish we kept our water cleaner. Great for kids and first (or second or third...) dates.
Tons of fun and people!
If you want a nice spot to wind down and relax, Riverfront Plaza is the place for you. I visited it for the first time, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. They have friendly staff, and the rooms are spacious.
The vista over the Mississippi River really brings it to life as it passes underneath you. You also get a very nice view of the USS Kidd. The WWII era ship is beautiful and well maintained. It is really something to see and the Riverfront Plaza offers a stunning view of the outside of it. I love coming here and it is a great place to take the family on a sunny day.
Great place to visit. Not enough of the locals take advantage of this. The only negative I have is I wish the walkway on top of the levee went all the way to the end of the levee at the North end. Instead it just stops a hundred yards short and becomes gravel and grass, rough walking, so I tried to walk down the side to get out of the gravel and ended falling all the way down the the street and sidewalk and broke my foot! Bad! So a nice day at the levee and pier ended very bad. Other than that it was a very nice day on the levee. Bill, LA
Love going sit on the steps at the levee, especially at night. New since last time Ive been out there (has been a few months or so) are a couple of chairs that are placed in a few spots on the Pershing Pier (next to the USS Kidd) along with country music playing over the speakers.
Its very peaceful.
Beautiful sunsets
Beautiful
A very nice and scenic spot. The Mississippi is majestic!
It work
Just loved it. Its beautiful and so relaxing. Great place to walk or just sit and look at the Mississippi River
A place to meditate when not many people are there
Nice place to visit
Is awesome an the Rivers high soon as we cross over the leavitt over there behind the the Bell parking lot we looked over in the water which was up about 10 ft before the top of the levee and there was a freaking 10-foot alligator swear to God we got video of it we posted it and everything so yeah 10-foot alligator over there right now running around in the Mississippi River so there are alligators in the Mississippi River if anybody ever asks that question that is your answer and I will post this video and several other pictures you know of the leisure time that we had out there and you can figure it out for yourself so thank you and bye
It was great in a out!. The way to go when you dont feel like cooking.
Beautiful spot to take pictures! Clean and well taken care of
Nice area to either take a walk or sit and enjoy the view.
Quite possibly the most scenic view you can get near sea-level in Baton Rouge. Around sunset is, of course, the best time to take advantage of cool(er) weather and perfect light.
The riverfront Plaza is nice, even though there arent any great places to eat right there. And it is also near the USS Kidd, as well as being right around the corner from the old state capital building, the Baton Rouge Museum, and the planetarium
Views of the muddy Mississippi River and unscenic barges. Good for taking a stroll on the levee while downtown.
Nice views, but very hard to find a bathroom
Great time walking around and site seeing to kill some time
Great Bible study and convenient Mass schedules.
Had a great time down there especially at night time when its nice and cool looking at all the lights
My grandkids were amazed with the water
Narrow areas but a great look at the navy history and photo ops.
Great exhibits
Always a beautiful place to visit especially if you desire peace of mind
Really nice area! Riverwalk is beautiful. The USS Kidd is docked here as a museum. The Arts and Science Museum is there as well as the Old Capitol which is also a museum. I did not explore the entire area, but there seems to be quite a few things to see and do here. There is some construction going on around to the Riverwalk right now, but once its totally done, it will be gorgeous. You can still get around the construction now though.
Excellent place
Windy and peacful
Beautiful, a clear view of the Mississippi River
Nice place to go easy your mind
Great war ship Historical experience Historical ship
Very enjoyable excellent choices to eat.
Beautiful sunsets, people watching, a lovely place to hang out.
It sucks. Absolutely no areas for children or restrooms
Another one of my favorite places to get a piece of mind
Great place and the scenery was beautiful
What a beautiful place to sit in peace and quiet enjoying the Mississippi River.
My Mississippi River within walking distance.
Nice mall ! A bit crowded when its raining outside, interesting selection of brands.

Went there to visit the USS Kidd. It was a nice walk and learned that camp lejeune was named for named for the general who born in Louisiana. Was a nice Sunday morning after a night of rain. Learned about tugboats,riverboats and the USS Kidd
