- Meike BradleyJune 23, 2015Great place to take a cozy blanket and to sit right down at the water in the late evening. You'll get a very beautiful and aromatic skyline of Portland and the reflections in the water.
- Bin YangOctober 8, 2016Great running/biking route taking you right along the waterfront; you can continue further south along the spring water corridor route as well. Beautiful!
- GNTLMNFebruary 19, 2014Take a stroll along the Willamette River. Cross over the Morrison Bridge and the Steel Bridge and you have a 2.75 mile loop. On Saturday and Sunday, there's "Saturday Market".

- Ben HortenJune 1, 2015Awesome place for a bike ride on a sunny afternoon in Portland. An absolute must do when the weather permits.
- Cristina SchmittJanuary 27, 2016I mostly love jogging the SW waterfront loop because I don't have to worry about cars and I enjoy the river even if it is dirty.
- Beautiful water feature. A lovely place to sit and have lunch or to do leaf-boat races.
- Alex BrehmJanuary 16, 2014The characters of Portlandia walk along the Esplanade as they sing the opening song "The Dream of the 90s" in Portlandia S1 E1.
- jeff reuterAugust 17, 2013Lots of things going on the Esplanade last night, pirates, bikes, band on a barge, Ferris wheel on a barge.
