The Nith River Promenade and Trail construction finished in late 2023 with final touches added in the spring of 2024.
The promenade and trail provide access to stunning views of three New Hamburg landmarks: the New Hamburg Reservoir Dam, the New Hamburg Waterwheel and the Hartman Bridge to people of all levels of ability.
Promenade and trail enhancements addressed erosion below the Promenade, stabilized the riverbanks during high-water events, and reinstated the trail lighting using innovative materials and construction methods.
The improvements also include adding two spacious gathering areas, replacing deteriorating trees and plantings; relocating the electrical field panel and meter base; expanding floodwater storage; putting in place armor stone bank stabilization; widening both the Promenade and trail pathways; creating an accessible ramp connection; installing terra-seed in place of high-maintenance grass species; installing resilient concrete light poles; and providing safety receptacles at each upper and lower gathering space.
