of the old Front Street Pumping Station, which supplied the Mount Adams reservoirs and is used today as a performance venue. Running parallel to this path is a walkway with jutting overlooks offering relaxing views of the river and Northern Kentucky’s hillsides. Continue walking east past The Boathouse, which houses veteran barbecue chain images Montgomery Inn–The Boathouse and gives diners impressive views. Look east from the railroad tracks in front of Montgomery Inn–Boathouse to see where the Oasis Trail will connect Lunken Airport to Sawyer Point.

      Past the long parking lot is the Theodore M. Berry International Friendship Park, featuring an impressive display of sculpture and flora representing five continents. It has two intertwining walkways guiding park visitors through gardens of the continents in a celebration of international peace and friendship. Named for Cincinnati’s first African American mayor, the park draws inspiration in part from a child’s friendship bracelet. One of Cincinnati Parks’ premier rental facilities is the pavilion toward the middle of the park. You can choose to walk the winding path past the pavilion to the end of the park for a longer walk, or turn around at any point to return to the Purple People Bridge, just beyond the statue of Cincinnatus.

      Continue west along Third Street, past Newport on the Levee, and cross York Street before turning right on Columbia Street. Climb the steps to the top of the levee. Completed for the city’s 1995 bicentennial, Newport’s Riverwalk is a pleasant stroll through the town’s 200-year history, with views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati skyline. Newport’s history is depicted on seven weather vanes individually mounted on 30-foot poles. At the end of the levee sidewalk, you’ll come to the Fourth Street Bridge, officially known as Veterans’ Memorial Bridge. Turn right and cross the Licking River into Covington. Continue until you reach Greenup Street.
