Schuylkill River Trail

Nice river walk along the Schuylkill River. We got on very near the Philadelphia Museum of Art and followed it down to the South Street Bridge for about a 30 min walk. Some nice views along the way and in particular a fantastic painted mural on a building of Phillies baseball history. There’s a public bathroom along the trail right where the Chestnut St Bridge crosses over.

Love running along this path, especially at night looking at the lights under the bridges. I've always been one to run along Kelly Dr. and was very pleasantly surprised when I realized the connection to this part of the path behind the Art Museum. It would be nice if more of the path lights worked at night.

A few weeks ago, I walked the Schuylkill River Trail in downtown Philadelphia, and it was such a pleasant experience, especially with the great weather! The trail offers stunning views of the river and city skyline, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing stroll or a more active run. It’s well-maintained, with plenty of space for both walkers and cyclists. The peaceful atmosphere along the water contrasts nicely with the vibrant city backdrop, making it an ideal escape right in the heart of Philly. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy some time outdoors!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this trail by bike. Beautiful Boat Houses, Philly Museum of Art, Water Works & Dam, Skate Park, Boardwalk in the River, Coffee in Locust Park area, Strawberry Mansion Bridge...just BEAUTIFUL, like a mini vacation. All of Philly was out today enjoying this path.

It’s a beautiful place for walking or just spending some time with friends and family or just alone. One will never get tired of this beautiful place because it’s so breathtaking view and peace of mind.
