Soon the southern point of the Cayce Riverwalk will be approximately one half mile farther down the Congaree River thanks to the ongoing commitment of the City of Cayce and its partner, the River Alliance.

This new extension of the Cayce Riverwalk will take walkers, runners, bikers, families with baby carriages and any other resident of the Midlands who wish to explore the rivers wonders along some new and interesting sites. 

The new Cayce Riverwalk Extension will continue beyond the existing boardwalk and will end at the Riverland Park subdivision.  The $1 million financing for the Cayce Riverwalk extension is made possible by a tax increment financing district that has been in place in the city for some time.   The first phase of the park opened in November 2006 and is seeing visitors daily.  The second phase ribbon cutting will take place on December 7th 2007.  The park is open from dawn until dusk. 

             In an effort to provide greater community benefit, the City of Cayce will in the future add a 1910 style Lockkeepers house with restroom facilities, a police substation which will include additional meeting space for public use, as well as additional picnic tables and improvements around the locks themselves.
