The Riverwalk in Naperville, Illinois is a peaceful and scenic place to stroll along the west branch of the DuPage River. This 1.75-mile pathway is paved with brick, and it is beautifully landscaped and dotted with fountains, bridges, sculptures, artwork, and meeting and event spaces.

A café with an outdoor patio overlooking the river serves pub-style food and ice cream. Many retail shops are located along the Naperville Riverwalk, as is the popular Centennial Beach and Centennial Park’s skateboarding/inline skating facility. Visitors may rent kayaks and paddleboats or take children to the Jaycee playground. Midway along the Riverwalk is a bell tower, the carillon of which lyrically chimes every hour on the hour.
