It has a very nice, relaxing feel to it as your walking by it....great for first dates! It is also in the heart of Naperville where you have small boutiques, great restaurants and hip bars.

I was in the area on business. It was a beautiful day that required one to be outdoors, after a quick scan of the map, found the RIverwalk. I expected a park-like atmosphere along a river and found so much more. A nice venue for sculptures and reflection. I especially appreciated the tribute to 9-11. A hometown hero, children's contributions... More

A great walk, beautiful nature trail, easy access to/from everywhere in downtown Naperville. There are even drinking fountains for dogs at perfect dog-height. Covered bridge is gorgeous.

I loved the bridges and pathway. It was a beautiful walk. Everyone was out and about. Its a very happy place to be. It is also located in downtown, which is also gorgeous.

I like to take my granddaughter for walks along the river because of the beauty of the landscape and because of the ducks which swim in the river. The river walk is very close to nearby shops and restaurants which makes it handy to get an ice cream cone while sitting on a bench watching the ducks swim by!

This was a very attractive walk along the river bank even though the weather was rather chilly! There are lots of places to sit and admire the views. The only issue really is that there are lots of Canada Geese, which is nice in terms of wildlife, but can be a bit daunting when there are lots of them being... More

Anyone who has been to Amsterdam, Venice, or even San Antonio knows full well what I mean. Chicago has sewers with more water flow than this shallow branch creek. No amount of red brick and poorly commissioned "art" can provide enough smoke and mirrors to transform this so called riverwalk into anything more than shallow, stinky, muddy water increasing fouled...

Nice walk around the creek. Not really a river. Kids love feeding the ducks. During summer very crowded. Many teenagers, Yes I was one of them, back in the late eighties. Love the downtown area as well, many good restaurants and shops.
