The Principal Riverwalk was a joint effort between the City of Des Moines, Principal Financial Group, and the state of Iowa, to develop a 1.3-mile waterfront pedestrian loop and multi-purpose trail spanning the Des Moines River between the city’s downtown and State Capitol districts. The Riverwalk provides the improved access to the Des Moines River, catalyzing growth along the underutilized riverfront, offers diverse recreational and cultural opportunities for all visitors.
