A picturesque boardwalk that spans nearly from the Isabel Holmes bridge to the Cape Fear River Memorial Bridge. But with all the construction, the walk is broken up in segments and truly hard to enjoy. But we did. From the beautiful sight lines of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, to the line of shops and eateries ( few that were open) hugging the water edge, to the tranquil waters of Cape Fear River. One can even see the massive USS North Carolina battleship standing with all its majestic might across the waters. We even enjoyed lunch on the water (literally)floating aboard the Anne Bonny’s bar and grill, housed on a barge.

Very nice day trip. Plenty to see and quaint eateries along the way. A must do if you happen to be in the neighborhood.

Hard to give a complete review, when I went, there was a lot of construction and it was kind of off season, so the river walk portion wasnt anything special, but what was cool was the adjacent street where all the restaurants and bars were. Really liked the atmosphere and vibe, would give that area 5 stars

Walked from Chandlers Wharf to Cotton Exchange and back. Stopped in several shops which were mask required and keeping count of persons per store. Ate at several outside cafe tables, an appetizer here, a juice there, felt very safe and respectful of mask mandate.

A very nice decencies walk through downtown Wilmington. I believe it’s over 1.5 mile walk. There a various attractions including water tours, restaurants, shopping stores, ghost tours, horse and carriage ride. To be such a small town I was fascinated with how much Wilmington had to offer!

Beautiful area!! I loved seeing the view and being right on the water. I participated in the Battleship half marathon there, and part of the course was right along the Riverwalk.

Peaceful place for walk with your woman and outside dining and drinks

Great place to walk, sit eat, site-see and people watch! Beautiful place to enjoy being outside by the Cape Fear River in the beautiful NC weather in the heart of Historic Wilmington.

The most beautiful and peaceful place in NC. Absolutely love Wilmingtons Riverwalk

Beautiful... love that theyre keeping it in its original form. Beautiful old homes, nice stores, yummy food!

This used to be one of the nicest places around to walk, dine and grab a drink. Sadly is full of trash, construction debris and a Whole bunch of homeless people all over the riverwalk. Its scary to the point that you dont feel safe walking around anymore.

Pretty view but alot of construction at the moment.

Only spent an hour here, cant wait to go back and discover more!

Pretty cool place to take a walk! Seeing the bridge and the battleship along the walk is pretty sweet

We love the Riverwalk in Wilmington. Theres always something new we find. From the little shops to the easily accessed downtown streets of the city, the walk is always fun. Watch certain types as the boards may have a few nails popping up and the part in front of the courthouse is currently under renovation.

Love it here but theres construction going on now.

Absolutely beautiful. Social distancing is suggested and masks are required when socal distancing isnt possible.

Very pretty and a long walk. Much of the area is under construction, the only reason it doesnt get a 5.

So many shops and places to eat!

Not impressed. Only thing this is good for is walking exercise. Nothing to see or do.

Beautiful views wife love it great restaurants people friendly boat tours was nice weekend get away will come again.

All the stores closed early. Pretty much brew pubs and restaurants were open. Seen some nice old and buildings. Some bums. Also sketchy as Hell people!! Was nice to see but I wouldnt put it on my traveling list next time

Nice lowkey site seeing your boat. The experience and staff were great.

Walk, jog or stroll downtown Wilmington, NC along the Cape Fear River on the 1.75 mile Riverwalk.

Went to see the site where 2 young men lost their lives when they drove their car into the Cape Fear River. Very sad

Great place for a walk, lots of happy drunk homeless dudes rolling around on the floor when you first get there, but its a cool place nonetheless. If you bring a date to this location make sure you open the car door for her, listen to what she has to say and ask good quality questions, and be a kind courteous gentleman. Make yo mama proud! Also, there arent a lot of birds around, which is nice because you dont have to worry about getting crapped on!

Still a lot of Construction but a very nice place

Was a bit cool the night we visited, but how can you beat a boardwalk next to the river?

It is s nice place to walk and have lunch or dinner. Covid had closed many places.

A great asset to enjoy nature along with art, shops, restaurants and people.

Nice place to get out and see the sights

It has a nice vibe for a city. There is plenty to see and do. Lively at night but not too lively. Great choice of restaurants. Visit the USS North Carolina if you have time

Absolutely lovely view. Walk takes about 20 mins or so on wooden pathway. Along the way you can stop at unique shops, local restaurants or get a boat ride for 10-12 per person, sometimes even cheaper. You can see the battleship from here.

Wedding pictures were great.

Quaint little spot, plenty of breweries and shops. A ferry ride here is a must.

Great place to grab an ice cream and stroll

Fun for a day. Nothing overwhelming,but no disappointments.

So beautiful so much to see, historical

Beautiful day for Ice cream & a walk wt My Grand boys.

Great place to spend time with the family

Walk the length. Fun!

Sandwiched between the Cape Fear River and the Wilmington, NC historic district, this well maintained trail is the perfect place to get some exercise, enjoy the river scenery, grab a meal, or peacefully watch an evening sunset. I try to spend as much time here as possible whenever I visit Wilmington.

We loved walking Riverwalk boardwalk especially at sunset. So peaceful with a beautiful view.

Wilmington river walk was nice

Nice area. Clean and relaxing. Horse and buggy rides. Historical sites. Boat tours. Lots of Nice places to eat.

Nice. I imagine it will be hopping after this pandemic. Right now somewhat closed down and not very busy.

I bought a cup. How will I ever explain this.

Great place to visit and eat in Wilmington NC.

Beautiful area to enjoy outdoor seating when available.

Havent walked down town in a while but went out today and it smelled like urine in the air we couldnt even enjoy our ice cream or the view!

Very pretty little place nice to visit on a day away from the beach!

Great walk, but the water was eay to dirty

The ambiance was delicious. We not only walked on the Riverwalk, but on the downtown streets . Downtown restaurants had open seating spaces.

Really was a good walk.

Great views of the Cape Fear River

Awesome dinner great view until we saw a homeless man urinating on the river walk 20 ft outside of a public restroom! Disgusting!

In the past, we have enjoyed the Riverwalk, but this time it was sketchy. Lots of homeless people sleeping on the dock.

In town for my Birthday Weekend due to the Covid 19...I only took a rode trip from Charlotte NC. Wilmington has kept me busy! I stayed at Embassy Suite downtown, so I took a stroll Friday evening on the July 4th Weekend. My Birthday is July 4th! Several booths and reminiscing happening.

It was a great day, good food

Nice view, small town dock side feel

Wonderful place to visit, especially in the early evening.

Nice calm peaceful great way to spend an evening

Beautiful area in the downtown Wilmington area.

Vibrate. Active. Historical. Great food... Good music and a scenic Cape Fear river.

It was great :D

Beautiful view, lovely location

Good place to chill and relax

I visited this with my wife yesterday. I am sad we didnt get to walk the whole thing but what we seen was beautiful.

Love this board walk.

A must see, the true charm of Wilmington

Such a peaceful walk by the water. I found myself looking at everyone enjoying themselves and its such a neat experience.

Horse drawn carriage tide, restaurants and boat tours

SO BEAUTIFUL! THE ENTIRE SCENERY!! I LOVE IT HERE. IVE MADE A HABIT OF WALKING HERE ATLEAST ONCE A WEEK. SOMETIMES MORE..

Great view, many nice shops and restaurants

It was very relaxing and calming, a good workout too

Beautiful sunsets in May!

Beautiful. What a pitty is what the Cape Fear River brings... chemicals, all sorts of pollution...

Construction, empty buildings, dirty river, deserted.

Great restaurants and scenery

Love the history downtown Wilmington. Nice for a weekend stroll and some local shopping and eating.

Easy to find parking and plenty to do.

Great place to get exercise, enjoy the river and people watch. We love it.

Went on ghost walk and caught a glimpse of the battleship.

Beautiful place to cisit at anytime of the day, week or month. local venders are awesome and prices are reasonable

Fabulous walking course along the river. A few rare places are a little sketchy in terms of lighting at night due to construction. Allows easy access to shopping and restaurants in the area.

Beautiful ️ its so relaxing. Its truly beautiful at night the colors make it so peaceful & just a good place to hangout with benches and public bathrooms. The cape fear river is and the secenry is so soothing. Lots to do down there.

Crowds were not wearing masks.

So beautiful at sunset!

As the sun sets past these dying trees, i take my natural pose and look down with a sigh only to look back unto my own reflection within one of many passing small oil slicks. My iced coffee from earlier, now lukewarm, tastes of plastic; Nostalgia feeds my sorrow.As my shutter clicks again and again, i ponder why we destroy beautiful things only to complain that the plucked flower wilts.*looks at garbage floating in water as i utilize the recycling bin, knowing the city wont recycle #2 plastic; good intentions and lip service are good enough to facilitate change, right?* Just look at that pretty sunset, yall.

Omg!!!!This place is amazing!!!We loved it

Beautiful ️ love it

I love this place. So nice to be by the River, restaurants nearby, shops. Just a great place

Cool spot

Always so beautiful and plenty of places to sit.

The riverwalk is a fun place to take a walk in the evening. Its beautiful at night with all the string lights over the walk.

Great time!!

Beautiful place. You can get nice pictures there. I just missed a souvenir place around.

Loved the Azalea Festival; 1,000s of people attended on the Saturday 4/6/19, when we went. Lots of great quaint specialty stores along the Riverwalk. Everyone was so nice, polite and helpful. Had a wonderful time. Everything was set up strategically. The flow of foot traffic went smoothly all day. The only really congested area was around the food. Kudos to the planning committee on a job well done!

It was a great experience for my son and other players on his team. Or tournament was more than we expected, and was great to see my son play his best!

Awesome view
