Essential things to remember before heading out on your walk
Wear Comfortable Shoes
Invest in supportive walking shoes with good grip. The riverside paths can be uneven in places.
Bring Water and Snacks
Stay hydrated throughout your walk. Pack some light snacks — benches are scattered along both routes.
Check the Weather First
Riverside paths can get slippery after rain. A quick forecast check helps you plan the perfect day.
Start Early in the Day
Morning walks are quieter and cooler. You'll also have better light for photography and enjoying the scenery.
Tell Someone Your Route
Let a friend or family member know which trail you're walking and when you expect to return.
Bring Your Phone Charged
Cell service is good along both routes. A charged phone means you can capture memories and reach help if needed.
