Milton: Riverwalk
A walking dock borders the river and provides easy access to the city’s attractions. It is the site of several special events, including the annual Riverfest Fourth of July Celebration and the Blackwater Festival where hundreds of boats congregate to enjoy on-shore events and form a flotilla to view the evening’s fireworks.
