San Antonio River Walk, Riverside walkway network in San Antonio, United States
The San Antonio River Walk extends for several miles with stone paths connecting restaurants, shops, and hotels along the San Antonio River.
The River Walk originated from a 1920s flood control project, transforming into a public space through architect Robert Hugman's vision in 1929.
The River Walk displays numerous public art installations and hosts seasonal celebrations including mariachi performances and regional food festivals.
The pedestrian network provides multiple access points from street level, with water taxis offering transportation between major downtown destinations.
Underground channels beneath the River Walk redirect water flow during heavy rainfall, protecting the area through a complex flood control system.
