Napa River Trail

A scenic walking trail winds along the Napa River. Several segments of the trail have been completed.

The river trail is being constructed in sections, partly by the City of Napa through grant funds, partly by private development and substantially by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Napa River Flood Protection Project.

When completed, it will provide seven contiguous miles of recreational trail along the west bank of the Napa River, from Kennedy Park on the south to Trancas Street on the north, and additional trail sections on the east bank. In downtown, the character of the trail will become more urban, with adjacent private development providing outdoor cafe space and seating areas to orient private properties to the river.

The river trail will serve as the backbone to the Napa River Parkway, which will provide recreational opportunities for hikers, fishermen, joggers, bicyclists and boaters, as well as a setting for wildlife observation and environmental education. Links to existing trails and city streets will provide access to nearby neighborhoods, commercial areas and parks, making the Napa River more accessible than ever.
