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.

A Downtown Connection

The path's connection to downtown makes it easy to combine a Riverwalk stroll with shopping or dining in Canon City's historic Main Street district.

Highlights

  • Paved accessible path
  • Riverside scenery
  • Connected to downtown
  • Free access
  • Watch rafters float by
  • Benches and viewpoints
