Also called the Urban Section, it was designed by local firm Ford, Powell & Carson. Landscaping and public art were considered from the beginning of the planning process. The result is an urban walking trail that integrates beautifully with its surroundings.
Opened in 2009, it's a great place to enjoy the river in a less crowded, more natural setting. An important plus is that you can begin your walk at the beautiful Pearl Brewery complex where parking is plentiful and free. I previously posted about The Pearl when I attended The Herb Market in October. I recently stopped in to enjoy a walk and see how the drought had affected the plantings.
Starting in the parking lot, the great landscaping is worth taking in
