riverwalk

Path along water

A riverwalk is a pedestrian pathway running alongside a river, typically through an urban area.

Riverwalks often feature parks, restaurants, and shops, designed to make the waterfront accessible and attractive: We strolled along the riverwalk after dinner.

San Antonio's Riverwalk is among the most famous in the United States.
