Saturday Free Boating – Rowboats only (No kayaks)
It’s cold! The water temperature is lower than average for this time of year so we are only offering ROWBOATS this week – NO KAYAKS. Guest get pretty wet in kayaks and can possibly fall out, the rowboats are dry and won’t tip – so for your comfort and safety there will be no kayaking today, just rowing.
—
Explore this quiet stretch of the Schuylkill River on one of our kayaks or rowboats. No registration or boating experience necessary! All ages are welcome, minors must be accompanied by an adult. We provide the boats, life jackets and basic instruction. Kayak excursions limited to 30 minutes, rowboat excursions limited to 45 minutes.
Location
Free Saturday Boating embarks from our Community Boathouse, which is located on the northern tip of Bartram’s Garden on the river. Walk past the free Parking area onto the Meadow trail, which leads downhill to the Boathouse (click here for a map).
