Description
The Christina Riverwalk is short (1.3 miles) but pleasant pathway along the Christina River, between the Russell Peterson Wildlife Refuge and the end of S. Popular Street, just beyond Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park. The trail offers access to the Shipyard Shops and downtown Wilmington. It's nicely landscaped and passes through small parks where you can stop to sit on a bench along the river. Hare Pavilion overlooks the Christina River at the foot of Old West Street and is a nice gathering place.
Parking and Trail Access
Park at Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park (Rosa Parks Drive) at the Shipyard Shops off Justison Street or at the southern end of the trail at the wildlife refuge.
