Family Day with Genesis GV70: Waterfront Joy at Lake Murray & Columbia Riverwalk

There’s something about a day by the water that just feels right — especially when you have the comfort, space, and style of a Genesis GV70. Whether you’re packing up the kids for a lakeside picnic or heading out for a peaceful riverside stroll, Columbia, South Carolina, offers stunning waterfront destinations that pair perfectly with your luxury SUV. Here’s how you can enjoy a full day of family-friendly fun in and around Columbia, SC.

Start Your Drive at Lake Murray for Scenic Waterfront Activities

Located just a short drive from downtown, Lake Murray is one of the most scenic places to take your Genesis GV70 for a day trip. With spacious seating and excellent cargo space, the GV70 easily carries picnic gear, folding chairs, paddleboards, or whatever your family adventure includes. The Lake Murray Dam area provides beach access, walking paths, and picnic shelters that are perfect for families looking to relax or play by the water. You can also explore boat rentals from Siesta Cove Marina if you’re looking to add a water cruise to the itinerary.

Enjoy a Riverside Walk and Coffee at Columbia Riverwalk Park

The Columbia Riverwalk is an ideal place to stretch your legs while enjoying the sights and sounds of the Congaree River. This beautifully paved trail winds along the water and offers benches, shaded areas, and direct access to the West Columbia Amphitheater lawn. After your walk, grab a warm drink or a treat at nearby Savage Craft Ale Works, which offers a relaxed outdoor setting and kid-friendly menu options during the day.

Pack a Lunch or Pick Up Takeout from a Local Favorite

Make your family outing even more enjoyable with takeout from a Columbia staple like Rosewood Market & Deli, known for fresh, wholesome options including sandwiches, wraps, and vegan treats. Your Genesis GV70’s cooling storage and adjustable cargo features make it easy to keep meals fresh while you explore. Load up and head back to the water or find a shaded overlook near the Saluda River for a relaxing afternoon break.
