The River Road, One of Orange Park’s Best Kept Secrets

The River Road, nestled behind The Orange Park Kennel Club located on The St. Johns River is one of Orange Park’s truly best kept secrets. The River Road has a 3-mile walkway for residents and patrons that come out and take advantage of the sunrise and sunset beaming off the St. Johns. On any given day you will see bicyclist, joggers, couples and individuals walking and taking in the breeze coming in from the river. The residents sitting in their swings enjoying a good book or reading the newspaper listening to the sounds of the birds in the trees. The scenery is also enhanced by seeing the manatees coming close to shore and ducks swimming by trailing one after another as they travel north.

The walking path starts at the Kennel Club and ends at Moose Haven, a retirement home for local seniors. This is an excellent location to come out and get a good power walk in after a long day at work or first thing in the morning to start your day.

A good cardio workout with the added touch of the river. What more can you ask for?
