Binghamton riverfront walks
Explore the Chenango and Susquehanna waterfronts around downtown.
Broome County
The Chenango and Susquehanna rivers meet in downtown Binghamton. Confluence Park and the Court Street bridge are named orientation points for planning a downtown riverfront walk; check the current city route information before choosing an access point. The Two Rivers Greenway includes routes around the area, but paths do not all have identical surfaces or uninterrupted access. High water, ice, construction and weather can affect a visit. A waterfront walk is different from a paddling trip: launching a boat requires a designated launch, a separate water-condition check and suitable safety equipment.
Plan a short riverfront route
- Locate Confluence Park, your starting street and the Court Street bridge on a current map. Confirm the connected public path before treating them as one continuous route.
- Choose an out-and-back walk if you need to return to the same parked car or bus stop.
- For cycling, check permitted use, surface, crossings and any dismount instructions.
- Confirm current access and weather notices with city or county resources; turn back at posted closures.
- For paddling, start a separate launch and water-safety plan rather than assuming pedestrian access permits launching.

The Chenango and Susquehanna meet downtown. Use city and county resources to choose a riverfront or Two Rivers Greenway access point and a route of suitable length. Check current notices for high water, ice, construction, or other closures.

Does a riverfront walking route also provide a paddling launch?
Not necessarily. Walking or cycling access does not establish a legal or suitable boat launch. Plan paddling separately using a designated launch, current water conditions, and appropriate safety equipment. Do not enter closed paths or launch areas.
