About this Stone
This vibrant stretch along the south bank of the Chicago River offers stunning views of the skyline and has become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors. The Riverwalk invites you to stroll at a leisurely pace, grab coffee, or embark on an architecture boat tour that unveils the fascinating stories behind the city’s iconic skyscrapers. Once a working industrial waterfront, it underwent a massive urban transformation that reimagined it as a lively pedestrian paradise, earning the affectionate nickname “Chicago’s Second Lakefront.” The area beautifully balances its industrial heritage with modern vitality, making it as much a place to understand the city’s past as it is to experience its present.
