Print Friendly MapThe Columbus Riverwalk follows the Tombigbee Waterway in downtown Columbus. It is well lit, smooth, flat and wide, meandering through hardwoods and fields with views of the river. Benches, trash receptacles, restrooms and shelters are provided. Open all year and in the evenings. Plans are in the works to connect it with other local trails.
Columbus, MS, lies just south of US 82 at US 45. Follow signs to the visitor center, housed in the former home of Tennessee Williams. The trailhead is at Riverside Park a block from the visitor center.
Very nice concrete paved 2.25 mile trail.
This is a very nice path by the river......when you can see it. I am always curious why paths or trails are built, but the scenery is so shrouded by over growing bushes that the views are nonexistent. The river can be seen in a few places which adds to the enjoyment of the path. Biking and walking would be the only way to traverse this path because of the the sand that completely obscures the concrete path in some areas. I wouldn't suggest inline skating here, although it would be perfect for it if it was cleaned off.
This trail is about 20 minutes from where we live. We've rode it a few times.
It's a nice short ride through the woods and along the river. It has a few short rolling hills.
It looks like they plan to make it longer some day, which would be nice.
