Riverwalk is a paved, accessible, urban greenway that stretches about 2 miles along the Eno River between Gold Park in western Hillsborough and trails east of town. It is a popular trail for walking, jogging and cycling, and provides pedestrian connections between several neighborhoods.
The greenway’s downtown portion is the primary route of the N.C. Mountains-to-Sea Trail, and the first section of the statewide trail system to be constructed in Orange County. Riverwalk also is one of the few sections of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail located in an urban environment, giving users easy access to restrooms, restaurants and shopping.
The greenway is open daily from 8 a.m. until a half hour after sunset.
3 Entrances:
- River Park (140 E. Margaret Lane behind the Orange County Justice Facility)
- Gold Park (415 Dimmocks Mill Road)
- Downtown Hillsborough by the Eno River Parking Deck at the end of Nash & Kollock Streets
