Richmond's downtown Riverfront Canal Walk runs 1.25 miles along the James River and the Kanawha and Haxall Canals.
As someone who has been to San Antonio many times, there is no comparison between the two cities' river walks. San Antonio's is, hands down, the better experience.
In the distance is the Lee Bridge which carries U.S. Route 1 and U.S. Route 301 across the James River. Personally, I think the bridge should be renamed!

"Free Your Mind. Kill Your TV"
Long before there was an internet and people's concerns about its pervasive influence, there was an awareness of the deleterious aspects of television programming. And so the phrase above appeared on t-shirts, graffiti, posters, and bumper stickers.

The canal lock gate as seen from the river side. Note the river level indicator at photo center. That scale, which tops out at 20 feet, here registers the river at under five feet.

This is a walkway over the point where the Kanawha Canal meets the James River. The canal lock gate is closed, which is why the water in the foreground is twelve to fifteen feet higher than the water on the river side of the gate. At left is a small U.S. Geological Survey station.
CSX 431 on a coal train passes the Kanawha Canal in Richmond, Va.
NS 6133 on a trip working crosses over the Kanawha Canal in Richmond Va with the CSX line at a higher level.
A CSX coal train snakes along the banks of the James River and through the city of Richmond, VA.
The long train is visible as well in the distance, downriver. Richmond’s railroad history dates to the 1830s and still sees regular freight and passenger traffic daily.
Also in the image is a stretch of the (now defunct) James River and Kanawha Canal (surveyed and planned by George Washington). The rail line was laid on the former towpath of the canal.
