Eastbank Esplanade and Waterfront Park

The Eastbank Esplanade is a pedestrian and bicycle path along the east shore of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. It runs 1.5 miles from the Steel Bridge to the Hawthorne Bridge and features a 1,200-foot floating walkway, the longest of its kind in the United States. The esplanade includes a 120-foot public dock and 13 markers that correspond to the eastside street grid. It is a demonstration project for improved habitat areas for fish and wildlife and riverbank restoration. The esplanade is also home to several public art installations, including the statue of Vera Katz, the Ghost Ship sculpture, and the Echo Gate. The area is family-friendly, with plenty of space for walking and biking, and offers great views of the river and the city skyline
