I started my interest in his hike/walk when I started seeing UGT signs painted on the trails around town and on top of signposts.
Urban Greenbelt Trial Signs, Corner of Goethals and Gillespie
Urban Greenbelt Trail, Riverfront Trail, Richland
After a little research, I discovered more about this trail, you can get the details, maps, directions and more pictures here on the hikes page for the Urban Greenbelt Trail.
I can get on this 3.25 mile trail just a few blocks from my home so I followed the map from the city’s website and had a nice, somewhat leisurely bike ride along the UGT.
It is a part of the revitalization of the Central Business District of Richland. It goes along the Columbia River through Howard Amon Park, then through some “hidden waterway” areas of town where I saw some ducks in the creek and I’m sure the birdlife is plentiful in the right season.
Waterway Through Marjorie Sutch Greenway
This is a fairly short, walkable path that is paved all the way. You do have to cross a few streets but there are some secluded areas and it is a nice break if you want a walk on your lunch hour or free time.
