Welcome to the McHenry Riverwalk Foundation Website

The McHenry Riverwalk Foundation is dedicated to enhancing and expanding the riverwalk, a vital asset that not only beautifies our downtown area but also plays a significant role in boosting the local economy. By focusing on projects that improve and extend the riverwalk, we aim to create a more inviting environment for both residents and visitors.

Donna Brooks & Ironwood Perform Sunday, October 13th, 1-4 pm @ Miller Point
