The Susquehanna River can be admired from many spots around Harrisburg but the view of the river from the Riverfront Park is simply unmatched. The boardwalk that lines the river has a number of benches where you can sit back and relish the view during sunset while the park itself has a number of attractions of its own.

The Le Petit Museum-Musical Boxes that combines teaching music and art exhibits, the Nissley Vineyards & Winery where you can learn about the process of wine making, George's Wood Crafts known for its exquisite wooden artefacts and a number of BnBs that offer accommodation with good food and a complementary view of the river, makes this park a special spot in the city. The park also hosts events and festivals like the Woofstock Dog Festival, Kipona and the American MusicFest, the American MusicFest, annual Fourth of July and the gay Pride Festival. If you are staying nearby, you will love just how busy this place is with trending cultural events especially during high season!

On other days, the lush green park welcomes anyone missing tranquil green spaces and fresh air. There are a number of cycling and walking pathways and the pedestrian Walnut Street Bridge is the heart of the place if you want to click some fabulous photographs.
