My BF and I stopped here after a wedding reception in Sept 2015. But the Riverwalk was closed do to a huge company Family Day. So we could only look at the Riverboat and the River from the the street above. It looked nice. The people that were coming up from the Riverwalk were all happy and laughing and looking full. But alas it was not in the cards for us to get on the lovely Riverboat. Maybe next time?

You would think that something like Montgomery’s Riverwalk would be a holiday/weekend sort of attraction. *I* would think that, and I did think that. Sadly, this place was a ghost town on Labor Day. I don’t know where everybody was or what else they might have been doing, but they weren’t downtown at the Riverwalk. We accessed the area via the Civil War-era tunnel from Tallapoosa Street. The tunnel, while neato in and of itself, was the last cool place we would be for the next 30 minutes. Popping out of the tunnel, you are dumped onto a stage(I believe) for both the paddle boat that plies the river on days that we weren’t there and the earthen amphitheater on the hill. The«pavement» seemed to be rubber-like and was very darkly colored. That would probably be welcome in winter, but it makes for about a 15 – 20 degree increase mid-day in the summer. It was seriously hot! We walked up the hill to the SandBAR at the Silos, which is an outside bar built into concrete silos. It was closed like everything else around downtown. Looked like it would have been a neat place to loiter. The most interesting thing was the pole that marked the high-water point from a flood sometime in the past. That mark was waaay up the pole, which made me do a 360 and try to imagine the general vicinity underneath about 20 feet of water. The park is very attractive and I’d bet that it would be fun, if more than 4 people were around to enjoy it.
