Not all of nature’s little gems are found in the middle of nowhere, some appear magically right in the middle of Vermont’s bustling towns. The Manchester Riverwalk is one of those unexpected treasures that transports you out of town without ever having to leave town. Enjoy this natural oasis along the river for a quick escape straight into another world.
The Manchester Riverwalk is a hidden path through the wooded glen beside the West Branch of the Battenkill River in downtown Manchester. It is a work in progress that continues to grow with each passing year.

Future plans for the river walk include a tall bridge that will connect paths on both sides of the river and grant a stunning overlook of the falls.

There will also be smaller bridges lower to the water to connect the existing paths on each side of the river.
