Description: In Naperville Illinois one can experience the picturesque banks of the DuPage River by strolling along Riverwalk. A good place to start is on the east side of town where Webster Street stops at Jackson Avenue. Heading back toward town your westward trek will soon present a lovely wooden bridge next to the charming Dandelion Fountain. You’ll next see Free Speech Pavilion and the Riverwalk Amphitheater. Walking over Eagle Street you’ll witness Landforms Sculpture followed by another covered bridge which, upon crossing, one may purchase tasty treats at Riverwalk Eatery. To your left you’ll see paddlers out on Quarry Lake paddling paddleboats amid flocks of geese and ducks. Continuing west you’ll soon be in the shadow of the towering Moser Tower with its 72 bell Millennium Carillon which treats music lovers to Summer concerts as they picnic on nearby Rotary Hill. Beyond the Carillon you can continue walking westward and cross over a bridge to head back toward town. You will soon come upon Centennial Beach, a man made beach that is annually enjoyed by thousands of happy bathers, both tourists and locals.
