Columbus Riverwalk, Georgia, United States

Nice trail
From Phenix City rode bikes across the pedestrian bridge to the trail, can go left and travel all the way to Ft Benning, can turn right and follow the river to the end of the path about 2.5-3 miles nice ride. On both side of the trail you are riding along the river. When you start heading over to Ft Benning you are away from the river. There is a Zip line that crosses the river if you wanted to try that. The river walk gets crowded on the weekends not bad during the week. Also when you cross the pedestrian bridge you can also catch the Dragonfly trail ( Fall Line Trace Trail) , This trail has 17 street crossing in the first 3 miles then one about every 1/2 mile after that.

Great for a river stroll
We walked down here after a hefty breakfast at Ruth Ann’s (highly recommended) just to see what was there and ended up walking all the way down to the powerhouse. If you enjoy seeing old building restored and reading the history of them you’ll live this walk. We were lucky enough to see some kayakers and several dog walkers. There’s even a water park and kayak rentals at the right time of year. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 rating was due to the bathroom cleanliness. It was a bit less than sub-par. I understand something like that is almost impossible to keep “sparkling” clean because people can be jerks but it looked as if it had not been cleaned in quite a while.

This walk was great!
I really enjoyed walking on the waterfront. There were many great viewpoints of the rapids and those individuals brave enough to ride them. One could also stick his or her hands into the water. The walkway was well-maintained with a great path for walkers, bikers, and joggers. There was much greenery and there were great panoramas of nearby Phenix City, Alabama. I even crossed the bridge to walk alongside the Phenix City promenade near Troy University. One could also admire the nice shops and restaurants alongside Broadway; there were also many nice houses with big magnolias. There was plenty of street parking with some hourly restrictions during the weekdays.
