The Greenway in New Albany includes 70 acres of wetland and bottomland forest for hiking, wildlife viewing and exploration, in addition to multi-use paths and a roadway (Water Street) with an extensive riverfront view.

The Greenway begins at Silver Creek, with the multi-use path following an old railroad route bordering the Loop Island Wetlands. Year-round wildlife viewing is popular here, and visitors may take a short walk along an unpaved hiking trail to experience a unique view where Silver Creek joins the Ohio River. The path continues atop the levee to the trailhead at East 18th and Water Street, where vehicles may re-enter the Greenway corridor.

West of 18th Street, the path runs parallel to Water Street and includes views of the K&I Railroad Bridge and McAlpine Locks. Two segments of the path are on boardwalk structures that extend over the riverbank. Pedestrian access through the floodwall at East 10th Street allows Greenway users to travel one block and visit the historic Culbertson Mansion, a restored Second Empire house museum owned by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. This property is on Main Street, with elegantly restored homes in the Mansion Row National Register Historic District.

Further west, the path passes a public boat ramp and the city's 800-seat amphitheater with its bright yellow bandshell. The amphitheater is host to concerts, plays and various civic events throughout the year. A set of steps at the top of the amphitheater leads to New Albany's downtown business district.

The river's edge path currently ends below the Sherman Minton Bridge (I-64). A narrower paved path is also completed on the levee from East 6th Street to the Bridge, providing views of the historic downtown and Scribner Place YMCA. Future plans call for the path at the river's edge continuing to West 10th Street, marking the Greenway's western boundary.
