The Northbank Riverwalk provides access to waterfront views, passing boat traffic, and the free light and music show at Friendship Fountain. Outdoor pursuits include fishing, kayaking, biking the Baldwin Trail's 14.5 miles of tree-lined paths, and exploring the local arboretum and botanical gardens. Local markets, food tours, brewery tours, escape rooms, and monthly art walks reflect the breadth of experiences available throughout the area.
