Schuylkill River

History, Recreation & Nature in Philly!

A 128-mile body of water, the Schuylkill River runs from Pennsylvania's coal country to Philadelphia.  As the first city in North America to provide fresh drinking water to its citizens as a government service, Philadelphia's Watering Committee constructed the Fairmount Water Works along the banks of the beautiful Schuylkill River.

 

Now used as a recreational resource for Philadelphia tourists and for those who call Philadelphia home, the Schuylkill River has transformed into a fun-filled attraction.  If you're looking for a historical landmark, a recreational destination and a scenic spot in Philadelphia, then the Schuylkill River is definitely the place for you!
