Elkhart Riverwalk

Project Description:

The Elkhart Riverwalk project was part of the city’s vision of beautifying downtown Elkhart and making it attractive to new residents. We stabilized the riverbank with boulders and limestone blocks, then created an access point to the river for kayaks and canoes.  An upper plaza area features a beautiful trellis structure for shade, benches to sit and enjoy the view of the river, and a sculpture by a local artist. The landscaping will be a mix of native grasses and shrubs and also ornamental trees and perennials. The project will be complete with site lighting and furnishings.
