The Townsend River Walk & Arboretum Picnic Area, Demonstration Rain Water Garden, Children's Wooden Play Train and More is scheduled to be completed in 2025 and is estimated to cost $ 7,000.   We are providing the volunteers but we need your generous donations for the materials.

Notes, Testimonials and Greetings from Visitors to the Townsend River Walk & Arboretum (TRWA)

The TRWA has over the years had some really great visitor comments, posts on websites and social media, news articles and so much more.  We have never solicited these comments but are so grateful that visitors enjoy this special and unique adventure in Townsend.

In late June 2024, a visitor suggested adding a nature notebook on the River View Platform for visitors to record nature observations, sketches, and notes.   We have added that and have had some wonderful comments.

Below you will find many of those comments and more.  Hope you enjoy.  We sure have.

Great quick trail. Park at the church across the street. We brought our pocket stroller and was some what difficult to push through the rocks and dirt path, but still managed. There’s places to sit in front of the river and a small area for the little ones to play.
