- Learn about the history of trains in the area.
- Admire the unique sculptures that line the Rail Trail.
- Take a picture with your dog on a commemorative train.
- See the beautiful flowers and gardens that align the trail.
- See the historic waterfront, cute shops, and boats/yachts in the harbor.
- Let your dog take a dip in the cool waters.
After our walk, we will relax at the large outdoor area at RiverWalk Brewing Co. for local craft brews and great food (the nachos are soooo good!).
