Waterfront Renaissance Trail ...
Vancouver's Waterfront Renaissance Trail is a 14-foot-wide concrete path stretching along the Columbia River shoreline and starts at Vancouver Landing and the Interstate 5 Bridge, passes locations such as the Capt. George Vancouver Monument, Vancouver's "Old Apple Tree", Waterfront Park, Columbia Shores and the Ilchee Bronze, past Ryan Point and Marine Park, the Water Resources Education Center,the condominium development of Tidewater Cove, and ends at Wintler Park. A "Land Bridge" currently being built (2007) will soon connect the Trail with Fort Vancouver and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve.
