It’s always a treat spending time along the water, and Boston has one of the best riverwalks in the nation, according to USA Today readers.
The publication released a list of the 10 best riverwalks across the U.S. on Friday as part of its 2023 10Best Reader’s Choice Awards, and the Charles River Esplanade in Boston ranked No. 8.
The No. 1 riverwalk is the Detroit International RiverWalk in Detroit.
“Cities across the United States have transformed their riverfront areas into multi-use spaces for recreational purposes, cultural activities, dining and nightlife,” wrote USA Today. “And residents and visitors alike could easily spend an entire day hanging out at these riverwalks, which offer so many things to see and do.”
