Tuscaloosa River Walk

"The city of Tusaloosa looks to have made some real scenic parts of the river!"

"I truly enjoyed strolling along the river and seeing the adorable woodchucks. So relaxing and clean. There are restrooms and a few shops along the way. You can even bring a picnic and BBQ. Plenty of parking."

"It's such a wonderful place around downtown Tuscaloosa. Since I came to live here, it has been almost every day visiting place and for most people too as I can guest. The black warrior river is long and wide across Alabama and along Tuscaloosa. Around this walk, Alabama University is the main institution, the library, a Saturday Sunday farmers market, a fancy dining place, and, at the end, the Tuscaloosa amphitheater. It is must visit"

"I had never been here for the farmers market. I had a card to specifically use for that purpose. The place was a madhouse! It took at least ten minutes to find an available parking spot. People were backing out, so the line was held up each time while we waited. Once we were parked, we had to walk quite a distance among throngs of people, cars driving by, people with dogs, strollers, and people jogging, people with buggy full of their bags of vegetables, etc. There were tents set up on the sidewalk, and people crowded around each one. It was hard to keep moving forward to see anything. We finally made it inside of the Riverwalk and it was even more chaotic. You basically had to stand in line and wait for the people ahead of you to move. I was surprised that the prices were so high. I paid $12 for a 1 pound jar of honey. No one had any beeswax to sell with it. I saw quite the display of all types of mushrooms, but I didn't want to spend $25 just to get a variety or one kind. We bought some green beans and it was a good amount for a decent price. I also bought some yellow squash. Outside, we got corn on the cob, and then some peaches. They were pretty. I bought the smaller basket which had seven peaches in it. My friend paid $20 for a larger basket. She said that they all had worms inside next to the pit and she didn't get to put any in the freezer. She barely had enough for a pie. I won't go again unless it is right as they open. It's not worth the money or the time spent being jostled about. I was facing the sun, so I couldn't see what I was taking a picture of."

"If you happen to be in town, get a hotel near the River Walk. Great views of the Black Warrior River and good shopping in this area. There's a paved trail along the river that's good for walking or jogging. You'll even see cranes standing near the water's edge. Make sure you put the River restaurant on your list of places to eat in Tuscaloosa (located on the River Walk). The food is amazing and the restaurant has floor to ceiling windows, in which you can get a great view of the sunset. You might even catch the University of Alabama row team practicing on the river. There's also some public bathrooms on the River Walk, which were surprisingly clean."
