The Schuylkill ("school-kill") River is 125 miles long, and its watershed covers 2100 square miles in southeastern Pennsylvania.  The Stotesbury Regatta is hosted by Schuylkill Navy of Philadelphia.  Founded in 1858, the Schuylkill Navy of Philadelphia is the oldest amateur athletic governing body in the United States.

 

Directions from Washington, DC:

  • Take I-95 North through Wilmington and past Philadelphia International Airport and follow signs for Phila Center City via Route I-76 or Schuylkill Expressway

  • Take exit , I-76, Schuylkill Expressway, west. This takes you across the Penrose Ave. Bridge across Schuylkill, aka Route 291.

  • As soon as you come down bridge get in left lane, as you will turn left at first light onto 26th Street.

  • Move to right lane of Kelly Drive after merging at the bottom of the spiral.

  • Take Kelly Drive for one mile (past four traffic lights).
    The first building on the right, between the river and Kelly Drive, is the Canoe Club, where all out-of-town crews launch.
