Tampa Riverwalk
Stretching 2.6 miles, the Tampa Riverwalk along the Hillsborough River by downtown Tampa is a fun, festive and extremely popular destination for Tampa Bay locals and visitors! Great for biking, walking, jogging, strolling - the Tampa Riverwalk connects parks, museums, restaurants, bars, hotels, sporting venues, convention spaces and cultural landmarks. It starts at Armature Works and ends at Sparkman Wharf - both places are great to grab a bite to eat or chill for the day. The best part is that you can hop right on the trail behind Tampa Marriott!
