Miami Riverwalk

Miami Riverwalk is a paved waterfront path along the Miami River, with downtown views, benches and wall art along the way. Walk or jog beside the water, pause to watch boats, or continue toward Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park. The changing light gives the skyline and river a different look through the day, and restaurants and food trucks along the route make it easy to stop for a bite. The path is used for walking, running and dog-walking, with a well-lit feel in the evening.

A path beside the river

The Miami Riverwalk follows the Miami River through downtown. Its paved route works for walking and jogging, with benches where you can stop beside the water. Wall art adds points of interest along the way, and views open onto the city’s buildings and passing boats.

The path links parks and restaurants, and the wider river area has waterfront dining with views of yachts. Food trucks and restaurants along the route give you options for a break during a walk.

Views from morning to evening

The skyline and water look different as the sun shifts through the day. Early morning and late afternoon are good times to walk if you want to avoid crowds and catch sunrise or sunset light. The route is also used in the evening, when it is well lit.

You can walk toward Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park, watching boats on the river and, near Bayside, cruise ships maneuver before sailing away. Bring sun protection, since the path can feel warm in sunny weather and windy when skies are cloudy.
