Schuylkill Banks

A riverfront trail and greenway offers public paths and open space along the Schuylkill River. Visitors can walk or roll along 4.5 miles of trail and relax within 29 acres of open space. The broader project is planned as a continuous eight-mile route, with access points and amenities along the river. Trail maps, suggested routes, activity guides, and visitor information help people plan a visit. The riverfront also hosts community events, kayak tours, movie nights, and riverboat tours. Work is underway to connect neighborhoods to each other and to the river, extending the trail toward Southwest Philadelphia and, in later phases, Fort Mifflin. Schuylkill Banks runs through Philadelphia from the Fairmount Dam toward the Delaware River.
