Newport River Walk in Newport
#1 Top Rated
9.3

Newport River Walk

This riverside walkway offers a pleasant but brief escape along the water in downtown Newport. Visitors appreciate the scenic Michael S. Van Leesten bridge and convenient access to kayaking and boat tours, though most note the path is quite short at just 0.2 miles. The area was significantly impacted by recent hurricane flooding, which has affected portions of the trail, but visitors still find it a worthwhile stop for a quick stroll or coffee break.
