The boardwalk was constructed in the year
1999. It is around 1.5-1.9 kilometers long. It is really
nice to turn around and look at the town and see how green
Rigolet is. The boardwalk runs along the tree lines shore.
People walking on it can look out across the water, and
watch the whales jumping, and see all the boats coming
and going from Rigolet. If someone wanted to take a break,
they can sit on the bench before going the rest of the way.
It is a really nice past time for everyone in town.
