Exploring Our Urban Watershed on Land and Water

Join Fairmount Water Works and Schuylkill River Development Corporation in exploring the Schuylkill River – from life in a drop of river water to plants that help keep the river clean.

After a brief lunch break (bring your own), we will hike down the Schuylkill River Trail (about 1 mile) to the Walnut Street Dock, where kayaks await. Hidden River Outfitters will give a brief orientation to paddling and then we’ll get into our kayaks and out on the river!

This program is geared towards families. Minimum age is 12 years old. All participants must sign a kayak waiver, and participants aged 12-18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who will need to sign the minor’s kayak waiver.

Meet at Fairmount water Works at 10:30am. Space is limited; 18-person maximum. Advance registration required. Fee: $10/person.
