I had some things to do in Manistee this afternoon, and was glad I had time to also do the Riverwalk. If you walk all the way to the end of the channel and back (I did), it's about 3.5 miles.
The day was overcast, so there is no sparkly blue water, but it's still very nice to walk beside the Manistee River, through the city, to where it meets Lake Michigan. The Manistee Lighthouse is on the other side of the channel.
After I headed back toward town, I took this picture of the western end of the river, past where most businesses are. It looks quite natural in this section.
The boardwalk is also less complex, but more quiet and calm.
When I was back at my car, I took a picture of the River Street Bridge. I thought it was going to open- it's a drawbridge- because there were all kinds of bells and horns going off, but it didn't. Not sure why, unless the Washington Street Bridge opened (downstream) and the sounds all bounced around because of buildings and the riverbanks and sounded closer. Anyway... no picture of it open.

That looks like a very pleasant walk. I like the looks of the boardwalk
ReplyDeleteAnn- Manistee really has a sweet place with this walkway. It cost them a lot and took a while to decide to do it, but I think they've more than gotten their investment back
