This is a great park. Great for walking. I go long boarding here. The path is paved. Great views along CT River. Ample parking. Trail goes all the way to Goodwin Academy.
There are nice walking paths along the river with benches, a boat ramp and piers, as well as a small amphitheatre.A very nice city park.
Quiet peaceful and serene. Beautiful view overlooking the water. Makes watching the sunset meaningful.
Its nice being by the river under the trees. It was clean and the picnic table was in great condition. The wood was smooth and not a splinter fest. People were pleasant and friendly. I really like this park.
Nice place along the river. Being able to hang underneath the highway bridge is really cool
Didnt stay long did not want to get shoot
Best plz to be to free your mind and clear your thoughts
Beautiful place for walk and getting fresh air......
Loved walking here early in the morning with my girlfriend. I just wish they had a board up that showed the trail map.we figured it out and walked over the bridge into Hartford and made a loop and came back. Would be fun once youre in Hartford to find a coffee shop and donuts before you walk back. ran into people working out with private trainers and what looks like an exercise class at the bottom of the stairs by the river. The Lincoln sculpture walk is very pretty. I will definitely come back and explore more.
Best place 4 work out.
This park is one of my favorite places to go for walks. Depending on which direction you go, you will come across lots of wonderful things. One side has a lot of plants and cool trails of varying difficulty, and the other side takes you farther along the river and to different art installations having to do with a former U.S. president. Its really quite lovely. The walk has plenty of benches but due to the fact that the park floods up to a certain level every year, not all of the benches are safe to sit on. Overall, its a nice easy walk in either direction that can get you some great photos and wont be too difficult if you have a mild disability or are in a wheelchair. Its also quite romantic at sunset, and a known spot for families and lone people that love the view from their car.
It was my first time coming to this side of that park, but OMG. it was amazing. it was really clean and just fun over all, a 2mile walk didnt even feel like it definitely coming again ️
Nice river side walk ways. When it rains the walkways can unexpectedly be flooded for a day or so. But otherwise nice and accessible from Hartford and East Hartford.
Awesome little park with a great view of the city skyline.
Great trail to bike and walk. Very beautiful.
Always love going Here have to special spots that I go to to relax and relief
Clean, quiet scenery. Occasional summer concert in the park. Plenty of walking trails. I usually picnic on the grass overlooking the river.
Really relaxing. So many different kind of people enjoying the fresh air.
Nice park by the river, relaxing and nice walking path into hartford
The love of Outdoors makes me love this park
Good view of Hartford. Great scenery and place to just relax
It was great just for something so nice it was a shame to find great deal of trash on the sides , I wish people would appreciate surroundings more
We launched our boat from this park its beautiful for being in Hartford its a nice area
The Riverfront is a great summer destination. Walk,jog, or run whatever floats ur boat !!
One of my favorite places to bicycle tut o
Good for a nice and easy walking trail, water views and places to sit and chill all around.
Nice lil park.Live the river and the ranger that works there awesome guy!
I love this place.
Great view of the river and plenty of space to have a picnic
Peaceful. Clean and maintained....great place to walk, exercise, chill or grill.
Good place to run
Great River Park is a great place to take either a run or a walk in either Hartford proper or East Hartford. Walker/runners can access The Riverwalk foot bridge and cross the Connecticut River. The whole park is scenic and theres other folks around during midday, which makes it a very safe place to exercise.
Great place to walk by the Connecticut River or sit down on a bench and enjoy it. It has walking trails in case you choose to exercise or simply walk your dog. There is a boat dock in case you want to sail your boat on the river. You can cross the bridge in the end of the park and you are in Downtown Hartford within minutes. Great place for families.
Love this tranquil little park by the river. Especially pretty in autumn.
Cool place,a little dirty
Love the view and the length of the trail. Being by the water at any time of year is always nice.
Great place to let it all hang out!
Great place for a stop to see the Connecticut River and east side of the Hartford Skyline
Nice place for photos
Awesome place to go and hang out with family
View of Hartford accross the river? Priceless!
Great place to take a walk and enjoy the scenery by Hartfords Riverfront
Love the walk and looking at the water very peaceful
Great place for a peace of mind.
It is a beautiful place for Hartford downtown workers to take a walking break or to have a walking meeting. Its also perfect for family weekend relaxing/walking together.
Good family affair outing
Its the perfect place to ride a bicycle or take a walk.
Really awesome place for a walk with the family! Edit to add: the walking paths are completely paved, so ease of use with a stroller or wheelchair!
Clean and nice park
The only problem with this park is the stench from the trash to energy plant across the river, Its a shame that the d.e.p. does nothing about it.I am hoping it closes soon! I have complained for twenty years plus to no avail, this facility has ruined Hartford, East Hartford, Wethersfield, and anywhere else you can smell the rotting garbage!
Nice water veiw
Pretty nice! I wish the footpaths closer to the riverside were more well-lit for nightly strolls cause it tends to get eerie once the sun goes down. But hey, its a park by a river so eerie is basically a requirement.
Peaceful great for walks
I love to walk here and can safely get clear over the bridge to Hartford.
Nice chill spot...
Very Good..
Great city skyline views...
Nice park with lighted trails.
I love going to this park on a walk or a run theres a lot of shade as well, so if you have pups its great. During these summertIme months the hours are 5:15am to 8:30pm for parking near the water. The Rangers are always friendly and are always willing to help if you have questions or if you get lost. This place also happens to be the venue for many events, if Im not usually there to do parkour I am usually there to support the CT National Guard events or for the occasional food trucks. Theres always a good reason to come here.
Beautiful high rise downtown Hartford
Great place to stop and take in views of the Hartford skyline across the Connecticut River.
Nice place for an evening walk
Easy access to the river. Large spots for boar trailers.
This is a great place. It is clean and there always something going on such as yoga and different groups working out
Great walking trail beautiful part of the CT river walk
Love the view of the river it a gd place to collect your thoughts and decompress.
Beautiful views and hiking paths
Once a year we come for the fireworks and they are beautiful. Need to start coming back and enjoying the free events.
The desk monitor at the entrance is very sweet, welcoming, and helpful. Nice, clean, safe place to live from what Ive seen. I have a client who lives there.
Lots of small branches on walk way. Would like to see some call boxes for added safety.
Very good clean I just thought I just wish that it had a place that we can go in the water you cant get in the water you bring your Bose your paddle boats and what else your canoes thats about it the place at your picnic as well oh yeah I forgot there is no swimming as well
A very pleasurable spot just to take in the scenic view and to gather ones thoughts!!
The view of the Connecticut river was spectacular.
Stop by to take some pic after the down pour we had yesterday. Here is the result.
Where most folks walk over the Founders bridge for a gnosh at lunch, I just swim up to the promenade, and stroll on over to the Lunch wagon!!
Beautiful.view of the disgusting downtown Hartford and all their trash. Atleast the smell doesnt carry across the river
I use this spot regularly as a great 3 mile workout! Usually lots to look at and some pretty good elevation changes.
They have a good wine and beer selection, a happy hour menu, and a build your own burger night.
For those who work in Hartford, this is a great place to walk at lunch or for a walking 1:1 meeting
Clean and quiet
Went to the Riverfront for the 2019 Fireworks. There was overflow FREE parking in Riverside Park and the fireworks were GREAT!
Quiet nice view of the city. Good place to have lunch.
Awesome nice place to walk with your spouse.
