A scenic walk along the Mississippi River starting at Old Town Hall at 14 Bridge Street.
Along the way are stunning views of the Mississippi River as it weaves its way beneath the train bridge and past Kirkland Park, to a fabulous lookout by the Victoria Woollen Mill that offers a breathtaking view of the falls. From there, the Riverwalk crosses Almonte Street and continues to another lookout at the new power plant overlooking Metcalfe Park and the lower falls. Most of the walk is relatively easy, with attractive benches located along the path for relaxing, bird watching, and taking in the beauty of the river.
A newer section of the Riverwalk crosses onto ‘The Island,’ passing the Textile Museum and arriving at the Millworkers’ Staircase and connecting with the Ottawa Valley Rail Trail. From there you can cross the old CPR bridge over the river and arrive back at Old Town Hall.
