Tampa Riverwalk

Just moments from your front door, the Tampa Riverwalk is an iconic 2.6-mile pedestrian path stretching along the Hillsborough River. With direct access from downtown, it’s perfect for an early morning power walk, a casual evening stroll, or a scenic jog by the water. Along the route, you’ll pass parks, public art, museums, and waterfront dining spots.

This vibrant walkway is beautifully lit in the evening and always well-maintained. Whether you’re walking solo with a coffee in hand or meeting friends at a nearby restaurant after your stroll, the Riverwalk makes wellness feel effortless and elegant.

Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park

For those who prefer open green space paired with water views, Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park is just across the river from downtown. Its wide walking paths loop around gardens, fountains, and scenic picnic spots, all set against a backdrop of Tampa’s skyline.

The park also offers shaded areas, riverfront benches, and a peaceful atmosphere that feels like a quiet retreat in the heart of the city. It’s perfect for walking at your own pace, meditating by the water, or people-watching from a shaded corner.

Bayshore Boulevard Linear Trail

Known for its stunning waterfront views and historic mansions, the Bayshore Boulevard Trail is a 4.5-mile stretch that’s beloved by locals. The sidewalk here is one of the longest continuous waterfront paths in the U.S., offering breezes off the bay and unbeatable sunrise views.

It’s ideal for morning walks before work or relaxed evening strolls as the lights reflect off the water. Bring your headphones, breathe deeply, and enjoy one of the most picturesque trails in Tampa—just a short drive or bike ride from AER.

Cypress Point Park Trail

Craving a walk with beach vibes? Cypress Point Park is a hidden gem on Old Tampa Bay. It features short nature trails, picnic areas, and a quiet beach—perfect for a low-key afternoon away from downtown.

While it’s slightly tucked away, the reward is a peaceful setting with native Florida plants, palm trees, and wide-open space. It’s especially lovely at sunset when the sky turns gold over the water.
