Description

The Riverside Recreational Path begins as a gravel lane at the base of Riverside Park on the banks of the Rock River. From there, it continues along Rowena Street, paralleling Route 251, through a residential area until it goes under 251 at the south branch of Kinnikinnick Creek. You'll travel under a canopy of trees along the south side of the stream until you reach River Street. A foot bridge will take you across the creek and then you'll follow the north side of the waterway until the trail's end at the intersection of Cross and Broad Streets. A short distance away, off Main Street, you'll find the Leland Path, which offers helpful connections to some of Roscoe's most scenic areas. Trail-goers should note that the pathway is not well-signed and has varied terrain.
