This is a great walk for so many folks. The sidewalks are extra wide so that many people can experience it at once. The views are great and the area is wonderful

Right on the north side of the Columbia River. Photos shot looking SW overlooking the river and the I-5 bridge that connects Vancouver and Portland. Its one of only a few drawbridges within the interstate highway system. That barge seen in the photos is holding replacement parts for the south tower of the northbound lanes of the bridge. The northbound lanes will be closed for nine days in September 20 for the trunnion replacement project. Anyway, the Waterfront Park is quite nice. Tis a well-liked place by many.

A mile of waterfront to walk. Beautiful scenic spot next to restaurants on the water to watch the set from.

Beautiful views. Well maintained. Close proximity to downtown, shopping, restaurants and the river. Benches along the route. Bring your own chair and enjoy the views. Good place to picnic.

I love coming here, so beautiful ! Nice place to walk and shop and eat too.

I love this place. It is only 4 stars because of the large amount of broken glass everywhere. Overall a beautiful place to take a walk or people-watch. Rocky beaches in several spots are fun for rockhounding or running my dog. Great place to see squirrels and lots of birds.

Beautiful place. Kids are okay with the walk to the waters. Be careful broken glass bottles on sandy areas. You can find dragon flies and lots of little shells.

The PNW has awesome hikes from the Gorge to the mountains of Washington and OregonThe Renaissance Trail is just a great urban hike along the beautiful Columbia River

Took my son here for a walk because he is so interested in the ducks and geese. Maintenance well kept up, and great view of the river.

Always a beautiful walk or bike ride. Plenty of parking.

Perfect night for pizza in the park. After dark.

Good for a walk or to enjoy the river water.But gets crowded on weekends.

Nice view, perfect for having a family picnic. Alot of people like to hangout at this place..

Very peaceful and well maintained. The view of the Columbia River is fantastic. Great place to come and relax, or just take a little stroll down the path.

Neat place with a great view of the Columbia river and serene walking trail.

Its a beautiful walking path. Condos well landscaped and access to water and beach. Nice resturants

Nice walk. Great views. New addition makes for a good walking distance. Restaurant good choices. Was a great day. Even saw a little snake that was enjoying the day and Saturday market.

The times Ive been there it has always been so Serene. Theres a lot of trail so it doesnt seem overly populated. Its really beautiful. Ill be there this summer, on really hot days, put my feet in the water. Collect some rocks to paint. Thats a pretty lovely day!

Really nice view ... peaceful..

I like this trail a lot and it seems like other people feel the same haha theres always a lot of people walking it. I like that its easy for stroller, wheel chair, skateboards, bikes, etc.

Nice place to relax on a nice day. Disabled so have you either bench watch or car watch the river and walkers. Lots of pooches unfortunately it seems people who are irresponsible let threatening dogs run free.

A beautiful place to walk.

The scenery was so wonderful especially the sunset but there were places that have garbage everywhere.

Chilling at the waterfront

A nicely paved scenic walk with a view of the Columbia River all of the way. Pretty flowers and hummingbirds made my day!

Beautiful park that runs along the Columbia River. There are a few picnic tables, grassy areas, walking trail and limited parking.

The best view Columbia River at Water front Vancouvers

Best trail around! Wide sidewalks, gorgeous views, and beach access. You can walk North, East, or West from this parking lot (which is free by the way!) so you can explore lots of different, beautiful scenery.

Lovely views and easy walk on the Columbia River!

For Me..This place puts My Mind and Spirit in The Right Place

My child and I love to come here and feed the ducks on the weekend, its a great place to walk on really sunny days, beautiful view of the river and bridge

Beautiful little walk but there was a ton of trash.

Always a favorite spot to relax and watch the sunset.

What’s not to like about a flat scenic biking/walking/running trail along the Columbia River with gorgeous views of Mt Hood on the eastbound route. At the western end you can detour up though Fort Vancouver for a ride through the historic fort. A perfect outing for an early autumn day

Good spot to visit for a number of reasons. I like to drive down here at night and just enjoy the waterfront to relax

Great view easy access to the water

Walking along the river is one of my favorite activities in Vancouver. There is plenty of space for everyone, is never crowded and is very peaceful to meander along the path. We’ve wandered this walkway while dating, engaged, married, pregnant, with kids in strollers and on bikes. It’s always pleasant to see the variety of others on the trail, as well. Great trail with pretty view of the Columbia River. Dog friendly and kid friendly. Lots of restaurants along the trail.

I love this trail along the Columbia. This combined with downtown makes Vancouver lovely.

Beautiful sunsets!

Great place to walk bike or run with a great Riverview while you exercise or just sit on a bench and eat your lunch

Cant say to much, a friend took me at night, hang out. Telling me about it, what can be seen in the day and night. The average stuff on the water front.

Great place for a quiet walk or picnic along the river. Even on a beautifully sunny Friday afternoon it was all but deserted - a HUGE plus for me, I do not like large crouds, and have not once seen one in the many times I have been there.

A nice place to have a restful walk by a slower, wider section of the Columbia River. On nice breezy days you can often find hoards of sailboats racing each other around floating obstacles here. Sometimes gangs of little ones here, larger cabin type ones over there. There are also a handful of waterfront restaurants here, all with covered outdoor seating. The waterfront now stretches north and south of the I-5 bridge, with new landscaping and restaurants on the north side, too, with at least a few miles of good walking, bicycling or skating from one end to the other. If you like planes, trains, automobiles, boats, and people, its all happening here, around this humble stretch of wide sidewalk. See you there.

Nice. But short

Nice place to walk and enjoy the view

A fun place to run if you like to be around people.

Favorite place to walk!

Great place for a walk.

Good. Wish the sidewalks were smoother. Skaters be on your toes.

Trash cans all always full

Beautiful Spot.

So peaceful.

The main trail is beautiful. Towards evening, you can meet a few homeless people there cooking on the grass and parking area. The main problem is with the beaches. Lots of garbage there and glass pieces, which makes it not only unpleasant to stay there, but dangerous to walk barefoot.

Still under repair, could use better lighting

I cant believe its washed out in the middle.

Always a beautiful walk. Can be a little cooler by the water to, so refreshing

Its all about the river and the people.

Gorgeous and smells great!

Great place for a walk with a friend. Even on a Blustery Day, the sky is filled with beautiful clouds. Nice views of the river and mountains and sculptures along the way. Restaurants at either end.

Nice area but can be very crowded during summer

Very peaceful and scenic Bend. I love visiting my friends who live here because it allows me to have a personal guide around and I had the opportunity to see and walk over the newer constructed foot bridge.

Gorgeous stroll along the waterfront, no major hills, wide even sidewalks

Nice walk

Nice trail that runs alongside the incredible Columbia River. With benches, grassy areas, picnic benches and amazing views. A great place to watch the sun set while getting in some steps.

This, the older section of the Vancouver waterfront, is a lovely short walk by the river. You can extend the trail by cutting through to Fort Vancouver or you can keep walking to the new commercial part of the waterfront.

Peaceful spot to sit. On a clear day you can see Mt. Hood.

Great place to walk and enjoy the river

Love long walks here, I find it to be very peaceful. Great restaurant and views every time

Not finished yet but a nice place to stroll along the river front. Looking forward to seeing it done.

One cancel of my favorite places to relax and go for a walk.

First time going and had the best time watching the sunset.

Beautiful and clean. Great family spot. Has many restaurant options as well.

It is beautiful!

Beautiful River view, they just trimmed back so the trees, its great!

Such a pretty view.

This a good place to hike, run, or walk. Its even better than most trails because there are great views of the Columbia River and a number of restaurants along the trail.

Beautiful place!

Loved it its clean and the view is absolutely beautiful

Played at the beach area with the kids they had a a lot of fun and we built a sand castle

Its a really beautiful park right on the river great for having a picnic

Nice place to walk along the river!

Getting better! Ada the Goose loves it!

Great trail to walk during sunset. During summer water is low enough to lay on beach

Most people in the world have never seen anything as beautiful as the Columbia River coming out of the Gorge. This trail is such a wonder; I will never take this place for granted.

I love it

Great view of the Columbia. Nice place to walk or bike.

Love to take the grandkids to feed the ducks bread

Nice paved river pathway, interesting views of the river and youll pass by lots of places to eat. Good biking as well

Send this bridge will be gone. locals call it I-5 bridge.

So peaceful and fun for the whole family!

Its a nice safe place to walk alone or with others. Its a good place to bike with kids, or walk a pet.

Beautiful view of the Columbia River and great paved paths for walking, running, biking, etc. Some significant pot smoking in the parking lots to the west, during the morning when I went.

A stroll, with or without family, or a fast walk make this a great outdoor place for all

Great place to walk

My daily walking path

I like the free parking, public beach access and walking under the bridge. I just hate the graffiti on the signs.

Great place to relax, jog, meditate, walk, run, and or for casual convo... Bring a friend, BF, GF, BFF?!

Just a great place stop and enjoy the march area.

Great place to walk dogs. Its beautiful no matter what the weather.

I love love love this place. Probably one of my favorite scenic parts away from the coastline. There is so much to take in here, you can see parts of Washington and Oregon. Theres beach access, trails and a promenade. I cant say enough amazing things about this secret treasure.
