The New Bedford Covewalk, like the HarborWalk further east, sits atop the hurricane barrier built to protect New Bedford residents from storm surges during extreme weather. Even when it's nice out though, residents from the neighborhoods close-by have reasons to be thankful for the levee, thanks to this recreational pathway that offers panoramic views of Clark's Cove. The CoveWalk is well-lit at night and perfect for a night-time stroll or run. It stretches between Cove Road & Rodney French Boulevard.
There is no dedicated parking but you can access the trail on foot or by bike at either of the two endpoints (Cove Road & Rodney French Boulevard) as well as at the midpoint on Cove Road & Stapleton Street.
