river walk

Streamside strolling route

A river walk is a pedestrian path or promenade along a riverbank, typically in an urban setting and designed for leisure: We strolled along the river walk after dinner.

Many cities have developed their riverfronts into landscaped walkways with restaurants, shops, and public art.

San Antonio's River Walk is among the most famous examples.
