Description

A 3.8 mile riverfront hike with the young professionals group of Riverfront Parks Now, starting and ending at Intuition Ale Works. This is an urban hiking experience for individuals who value urban parks, outdoor recreation, and the St. Johns River. The hike will showcase the greenspace on and near the river, the Riverwalk, and the enormous potential for creating an interconnected riverfront park system. The hike will also highlight the critical role such parks can play in creating a natural, resilient barrier to river flooding. The hike will take place in the Jacksonville urban core and will use its streets, sidewalks, and trails to create a 3.8 mile loop. The hike will begin in the Intuition Ale Works parking lot and proceed westward along E Bay Street, shift to Ocean Street, to the Landing greenspace. The hike will then trace the St Johns River eastward back to Metropolitan Park. After exploring the park, the hikers will return to Intuition Ale Works for an optional happy hour and more socializing.
