Hickory River Walk

Take a stroll by the lake

Hickory River Walk offers a peaceful, scenic pathway along the Catawba River, where nature’s beauty and thoughtful design come together. Award-winning photographer Chad Austin captures the walkway’s charm in every season — from the soft glow of morning light filtering through riverside trees to the vibrant reflections dancing across the water at sunset. His images highlight both the quiet solitude and the inviting sense of community the River Walk provides, creating a visual story of a place where residents and visitors alike can slow down, connect, and take in the natural splendor of Hickory’s waterfront.
