Boston has one of the best riverwalks in America, according to USA Today readers
The Charles River Esplanade was named among the 10 best riverwalks in America.
There’s nothing quite like the combination of nature and city life, and a Boston riverwalk does both extremely well, according to USA Today readers.
The Charles River Esplanade was named among the 10 best riverwalks in America by USA Today readers on Friday, part of its 2024 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. It ranked No. 9 on the list.
Here’s what USA Today wrote about the Charles River Esplanade:
“The Charles River Esplanade in downtown Boston features a 64-acre park and 17 miles of running trails along the waterfront. The riverfront is also home to a community boat launch, a small cafe that’s open during the warm seasons, and an outdoor amphitheater for summer concerts.”

The Esplanade’s fourth annual Community Day will take place on May 19, a free outdoor event featuring local music, vendors, and food trucks.
The No. 1 riverwalk in America is Smale Riverfront Park in Cincinnati.
