Sure, long walks on the beach are nice, but these lively towns are thriving with their downtown river fronts featuring gondola rides, waterfalls and public art.

You’ve heard of long walks on the beach. But could leisurely strolls along the river walk become the next dating app cliche? There’s a case for it.

Of course, no visit to Napa’s riverfront is complete without a stop at one of its sweet shops, like Sweetie Pies Bakery, which has filled cookies and other crave-worthy pastries. To slumber close to the water, book a room at Napa River Inn and Spa at the historic Napa Mill, a boutique hotel with river-facing rooms and spa treatments that incorporate antioxidant-rich grapeseed oil.

Artwork from previous Burning Man installations have retired in the Riverwalk District in Reno, which, coupled with the numerous murals, makes downtown a bona fide outdoor art gallery. Attention-grabbing pieces include the iconic 12-foot-high “Believe” sculpture and “Space Whale,” a full-scale stained glass humpback whale mother and calf.

Beyond the galleries, the pathway starts the 22-mile Swamp Rabbit Bike Trail. It is lined with local eateries like Papi’s Tacos, where you’ll find tacos, tortas, gorditas and an award-winning margarita or The Lazy Goat. This Mediterranean spot has an open-air patio on the banks of the Reedy River.The 64-acre Riverfront Park offers a double feature: The Spokane River and the Spokane Falls, which is billed as the largest urban waterfall.
