 The Water Works of Columbus along with local government and civic leaders began a partnership that has resulted in one of the cities premier tourist attractions. The grand opening was on Columbus Day 1992 with a large kazoo parade behind Golden Park, when the Riverwalk covered only about a mile from the dam at The River Club to behind the Trade Center. It has been extended many times since and now stretches about 15 miles along the Chattahoochee, with restrooms, ADA accessibility, and easy access from downtown at Bay Avenue. It also runs alongside the world's longest urban whitewater rafting course, and connects to attractions like the National Civil War Naval Museum and the National Infantry Museum.
