Hidden from view and overlooked by most visitors, the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk is well worth seeking out if you have the time. Off the traditional tourist route, this sedate and lovely 2.5-mile-long trail follows the New River as it makes its way towards the ocean past historical homes and condos. The Riverwalk passes by 10 parks along its route, and each park has attractions all their own. Some have beautiful gardens, others workout stations, and some playground structures for the kids. Walk the route, or if you'd rather, just hop on the free Riverwalk Water Trolley plying the waters on a daily basis. A variety of restaurants with shady patios line the river and are the perfect place for a leisurely lunch or pleasant evening dinner. The Riverwalk has been in existence for over 30 years and has been a gathering spot for locals and tourists alike. For the latest events and happenings, pick up the Go Riverwalk magazine the group publishes every month. Access to the Riverwalk is easy from any one of the cross streets, like SE 3rd Avenue, South Andrews Avenue, or South Avenue of the Arts. One of the largest parking structures is off SE 3rd Avenue by the Broward Judicial Center.
