Reviews
"I went with my wife and we saw the art work along the hydroelectric portion, we parked close to 1200 E Byrd St. We parked along the fence, which is much cheaper at $2/hr, 4 hours max. The area is not wheelchair friendly. Some of the slopes/ramps are very steep, titled, not clean and have large gaps/drop offs. Portions are closed off for construction which makes it difficult to navigate if you are not on foot. We will try to navigate additional areas and see if they are more wheelchair friendly."
"Not much around the actual canal walk area. Its not very long either. Hardly anyone walking on it. Very loud traffic sound right next to the road."
"I like going at night to look at the city lights but it’s a great in the day too it’s a few restaurants along the canal walk definitely recommend"
"This is a great walk for families or on a date. Restaurants, graffiti, canal, river, etc, etc. all along the path."
