Outsider Tip
Mark everything you own with magic marker. And plan for hot days, cold days, rainy days, bugs, poison ivy and various combinations thereof.
There's no better way to get to know the long, winding river that's played such an important role in our region's history than this week-long river "sojourn."
You'll take your own canoe or kayak on the guided trek, which starts at Schuylkill Haven and goes all the way to Philadelphia, ending with a party beside the Philadelphia Water Works.
You don't have to be a particularly skilled paddler to enjoy the week, which will have you immersed in nature, and you can join up for a day or two if a week of paddling is too much.
Expect a week of paddling and camping, rain or shine, with several portages required.
COME PREPARED
For this kind of trip, there are lots of preparations and guidelines. See the website for a complete list of dos and don’ts.
