North Aurora Riverfront Park offers scenic access to the Fox River with amenities including gazebos, picnic tables, fishing access, paved walking and biking trails, and parking available at Island Park and the North Aurora Activity Center.

The park hosts free summer concerts and community events, making it a popular gathering spot for both recreation and relaxation along the riverfront.

Canoe and kayak portage is available via the west abutment stairwell near the dam, though users should be aware of the hazardous hydraulic roller immediately downstream.
