I can hardly believe I haven't blogged about Manistee Riverwalk before. It's a really nice urban hike. Ellen and I did it last summer. I probably get there a couple of times a year. The only bad part is that dogs aren't allowed, so Maggie had to stay home.
I'll just give you a long view of part of the pathway (it's 1.5 miles long), and then I'm going to show some details today. There are things I can share another day too, so stay tuned!
There isn't a lot of fancy architectural detail on the backs of the many buildings, but I found a few interesting things.
Some of the little doodads look more interesting in black and white. This is on the old waterworks building which is now a museum.
I liked all the different lines and angles of a bunch of stacked picnic tables behind railings.
Some buildings seem to be patched with whatever was handy.
Finally, I loved this vine, and you'll never see the pattern of the stems in the summer.
The Manistee Riverwalk will be the subject of my column at Mason County Press in a couple of weeks.

I enjoyed the scenes and that last picture is awesome
Interesting photos. I liked all of them.
You must have a lot to write about Manistee Riverwalk.
A beautiful place.
Good photos and I'll bet the article will be interesting.
I was trying to find a contact me link so I could send you an invite to Pinterest. If you send me your email address I can do the invite
Great pictures! I especially like the first and the last.
Ann- I'm glad you like it... I really wanted it to turn out, but I wasn't sure it really did
Jean- thank you!
rainfield- it's one of the nicest urban walkways in Michigan (not that Manistee is that big, but it's not in the woods)
Carole- The articles are mostly straightforward, but I hope to get people to click to other sites
Ann- another friend sent me an invite
Ivy- They have the best rhythm. I wanted that tables and railings picture to "sing," but it only sort of makes it... not sure why.
I agree, those chairs make for an interesting photo...it's a nice area for a walk...for a change of pace.
