Madison sits along the banks of the mighty Ohio River.

Whether you’re looking for a nice relaxing stroll along Madison’s riverfront or a heart-racing adventure on the water with Rockin’ Thunder River Tours, there is no end to the fun and memories to be made here.

Just a few blocks away from Madison’s Main Street, the riverfront is very accessible and walkable. Our two-mile long walkway along the river is ideal for a morning trek with your furry friend or an evening walk lit by street lamps with your partner. Explore the Madison-Milton Bridge Harlan & Anna Hubbard Walkway for stellar views and extra mileage!

Many of our annual festivals take place along the banks of the Ohio, including the Madison Regatta and the Ribberfest BBQ & Blues Festival. In addition, many summertime series happen in Bicentennial park right across the street from the river, including Mayor’s Movie in the Park series as well as the Madison Main Street Program’s Music in the Park series.
