1. What’s the broader vision of the RiverWalk project?

The Biddeford RiverWalk sits at the crossroads of local, regional, statewide and national trails—a fact that we find somewhat unique and compelling. Not only will the Riverwalk intersect with city trails, it also will connect with:

• Saco Bay trails
• The East Coast Greenway (from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida)
• The Eastern Trail

 As such, it can be the catalyst for further trail development across the city - and as an economic, cultural, historic, environmental and educational amenity for Biddeford, Saco, and beyond.

2. Can we visit the site?

Please visit Phase 1 of the RiverWalk, referred to as Gateway Plaza. Look for the RiverWalk sign at the North Dam Mill entrance, and you are almost there! 

This fall, Phase 2 and the Pedestrian Bridge should be open to the public as well! Stay tuned for that announcement!

3. How do we get more information about the RiverWalk?

There are several ways to learn more about the RiverWalk: online at the City of Biddeford or through the Heart of Biddeford. Or you can email Alix Hopkins, the Biddeford RiverWalk Coalition’s Project Director. She can head you in the right direction.
