One of the more picturesque views in Philadelphia can be found by gazing at the string of buildings known as Boathouse Row, along Kelly Drive, on the east bank of the Schuylkill River.

Beautiful houses. Fun to watch the rowing teams practice. Just an FYI Google maps shows that there is a water ice stand here and we did NOT find one. That was disappointing. Also, traffic there was much heavier than I expected, but then again it's Philly.
Love boathouse row they have events here such as the regatta for the college rowing teams. This is also a great place to get your exercise in. You’ll find a lot of walkers, joggers runners and bicyclists here. This is a very wide trail and it is asphalt just about the whole length down to the Fallsbridge. That’s heading south if you head north you’ll hit the art museum area.
Nice chill spot
Beautiful to look at and watch them row the river
A beautiful walk! This area is one of a kind. Plenty of parking along the various stops and well kept public restrooms.
