Riverside is a town in northern Knox Country, on the banks of the Ohio River. Fallas Lake lies to the south, Brandenburg to the west and West Point to the east.
Riverside is a colorful town that hugs the riverbank. The older parts of town lie to the west. The wealthier residents live, work and relax in the east. The West Maple Country Club south of town offered golf, tennis, a pool and fine bars to its members.
The town is a moderately sized suburb with a busy waterfront. The river gives endless water and easy fishing. Following the riverbank leads to West Point in one direction and Brandenburg in the other.
Riverside counts as an easy to medium place to survive. It is harder than Echo Creek and easier than Irvington. The crowd of the dead is modest, and most of it gathers in a few places. Loot and danger are well balanced. Riverside is widely seen as one of the best towns for a new survivor. It also suits a long stay thanks to the river.
Riverside Layout
Riverside splits into two main districts. The suburbs fill the south, east and west of town. The business district fills the northern side along the river.
The business district is the heart of the waterfront. It holds the shops, the restaurants, Riverside Suites and the Riverside Lighthouse. The police station, the fire department and the United States River Patrol stand at its western end. A ferry ticket office and the Riverwood Boat Club sit at its eastern end.
A large gated community lies on the eastern side of town. Every house there has a garage, and most have a swimming pool.
The GigaMart stands on the border between the suburbs and the business district. A Gas 2 Go, a scrap yard and an auto shop sit on the western edge of town.
Scenic Grove Trailer Park lies to the southwest, next to a factory and a U-Store It. The West Maple Country Club lies farther south. Camp Camus lies to the southwest and Doe Valley Lake to the south.
The Abandoned Town, also called Tanglewood, lies west of Riverside. Farther west, a small business area holds a gas station, a general store, Bait and Tackle and Beef Roundup.

Possible Loot Items in Riverside
The business district holds a wealth of loot, along with most of the dead.
Pharmahug and the Children's Medical Center hold large amounts of medical supplies. Enigma Books stocks many skill books. Nails and Nuts and Time 4 Sport are great places for melee weapons.
The GigaMart holds a massive amount of food. Nourish Food Mart, Milk N' More and the Conven-U-Mart add more. The fish and seafood stands and the butchering stand line the waterfront. Many restaurants, such as Harbor Steakhouse and Joe's Grill, hold kitchen stock.
The police station and the River Patrol post are the places to try for guns. Melee weapons carry most of the fighting in Riverside. The fire department holds axes and protective gear.
The suburbs alone hold enough to keep a survivor going for months. The GigaMart, the Fossoil, the Gas 2 Go and Hit Vids sit close to the homes.
The gated community in the east is a treasure trove. Its garages hold tools, weapons and crafting materials. Rare vehicles such as the Mercia Lang 4000, the Chevalier Cossette and the Franklin All-Terrain turn up there.
The outskirts add more. Scenic Grove Trailer Park holds plenty of loot, and the U-Store It and Lectromax Manufacturing stand beside it. Griffin's Blacksmith Shop, the Bass Family Camping Store and Rovert's Farm lie to the southeast. Morris' Bait Shop and the waterfront fishing gear stand help with fishing.

Surviving in Riverside
The greatest danger in Riverside is getting complacent. It is one of the easiest towns in Knox Country. A single zombie sneaking up from behind is often more dangerous than a whole horde in plain view.
The suburbs are very safe compared to the rest of town. Many blocks hold few zombies and plenty of loot. A new survivor can gather supplies there without being overrun.
The business district and the eastern gated community hold the largest crowds. Both are worth visiting once a survivor is armed.
The West Maple Country Club holds a large crowd as well.
The Ohio River is the town's greatest strength. It gives endless water and steady fishing. That makes Riverside one of the best towns for surviving over the long term.
A melee focused character fits Riverside best. The balance of loot against danger stays very good across the town.
Starting in Riverside
Most new characters in Riverside begin in the suburbs. Chefs can also start at the small restaurant on the golf course of the West Maple Country Club. Some occupations can start in Scenic Grove Trailer Park instead. The first goals are a weapon and food from nearby homes. The GigaMart and the nearby gas stations are easy early targets. The business district is best visited once the character is armed.
Notes
- Riverside is widely seen as one of the best towns for a new survivor.
- The Ohio River gives endless water and good fishing.
- Enigma Books and Pharmahug are top stops in the business district.
- The gated community in the east holds rare vehicles and full garages.
- The suburbs are among the safest streets in Knox Country.
