Cumberland Riverwalk follows the picturesque east bank of its namesake river for just shy of a mile in downtown Clarksville. The westernmost endpoint starts along the Red River East Trailhead and winds along the Red River and then further east along the Cumberland River and continues through a beautiful riverfront promenade. With an amphitheater, stages, a playground, and picnic facilities, the area is home to many festivals and concerts throughout the year.
At its southern end, the trail transverses McGregor Park and ends at the Upland Trail, a short rail-trail featuring two former railroad trestle bridges. At the juncture of the two trails is a bronze statue dedicated to Wilma Rudolph, the champion sprinter of the 1956 and 1960 Olympics.
Parking is available at McGregor Park (640 N. Riverside Drive).
We love to bike the Riverwalk. This trail is actually connected by Austin Peay Greenway on one end, and Upland trail on the other end. If you start at Austin Peay Greenway trailhead, you can walk/bike through the Riverwalk and connect to Upland trail. There are swings and picnic tables along the way, and even on a busy day you can find somewhere to stop have lunch. Last weekend we biked all three trails and I was amazed at how beautiful, accessible, and clean everything was.
