This is a paid parking lot. To park here you will use the instructions on the signs throughout the parking lot to pay on the parking app. We do not own this lot. Once you park you will take the sidewalk South towards the boats. You will pass the River Garden Park on the left before you will be able to physically see the boats on the river. The boats are located at the intersection of Riverside &amp; Monroe. You will see the ramp that goes into the Cobblestone Landing at the top of the hill at Riverside &amp; Monroe where the metal gate is. THIS IS A 8-10 MINUTE WALK.
