Columbia River Renaissance Trail

Winding west toward downtown Vancouver, the trail opens up sweeping views of passing ships alongside shaded lawns, benches, and picnic spots. The route is wide enough to comfortably share between walkers, runners, and cyclists, connecting quieter riverbanks directly to downtown waterfront dining. A playground borders the path, though upkeep draws mixed notes: while the waterfront walk remains popular, visitors point out occasional stretches needing surface maintenance or litter cleanup.
