Canon City Riverwalk
Stroll along the Arkansas River on this paved path connecting downtown Canon City to riverside parks and attractions.
An Easy River Stroll
The Canon City Riverwalk provides a gentle, paved path along the Arkansas River, perfect for a morning walk, evening stroll, or wheelchair-accessible outdoor experience. The trail connects downtown Canon City to riverside parks and offers views of the river that rafters know from a very different perspective.
Along the Path
The Riverwalk passes benches, viewpoints, and access to riverside parks. During rafting season, walkers can watch as boats float by - a nice way to preview or relive the rafting experience from dry land.
