Elkhart RiverWalk in contention for nation’s Best Riverwalk recognition through USA Today 10Best program

The city of Elkhart’s downtown RiverWalk is entering the national spotlight, thanks to USA Today’s 10Best readers’ choice awards.

Online voting begins today at noon EDT as the Elkhart RiverWalk competes for the Best Riverwalk crown against other cities across the U.S. Voting will be open for 28 days, ending Monday, April 6.

The Elkhart Riverwalk was nominated for this opportunity by USA Today’s subject-matter experts. Here is USA Today’s 10Best official description of the city’s RiverWalk, which appears along with a photo provided by the Elkhart County Convention & Visitors Bureau:

This popular spot along the Elkhart River in northern Indiana is the perfect place to spend a day out, taking in the public art sculptures, popping in and out of boutiques, and admiring the signature, colorful Quilt Gardens. While you’re there, you can also grab a bite to eat, take some photos, or even check out NIBCO Water and Ice Park, which does double duty as a summertime splash pad and wintertime ice skating rink.

“The Elkhart RiverWalk has truly spectacular scenery and is the perfect to enjoy the natural beauty downtown, inviting places for people to gather, and terrific restaurants of all kinds. The Elkhart County CVB frequently recommends the RiverWalk to visitors and they are rarely disappointed, it is a great way to view one of our famed Quilt Garden during the summer,” said Jon Hunsberger, executive director of the Elkhart County CVB.
