Beautiful area, nice place for jogging , walking , biking. Limited parking available nearby or street side parking is available near by places but a bit of walk. A very nice naturalistic , heavy shaded area and love the peoples energy and zest.
I’ve been here for a few years now. It’s an amazing place if you just want to take a walk or jog. The homes are beautiful and looks lovely lit up at night. The people are very nice and friendly. Just an overall pleasant and beautiful area.
I love it here, being I'm from back west. We don't have the beautiful rivers or any kind of water way. You don't have enough room for all the pictures you can take. Nice, very nice.
We enjoyed our morning exploring Fairmount Park and the Schuyllkill Trail. We had seen Boathouse Row from I-76 other side of the river many times but never up close. The architecture is original and I imagine the history of each build/club is very unique. However, I was disappointed with the overall maintenance and upkeep of the structures and area in general.
Very interesting walk along the path to see these houses with so much character. Makes for a great photo op as well!
Great place for a quick stop while travel on the Schuylkill River Trail. I was across the river on Martin Luther King Boulevard, I prefer to use the MLK-B on the weekends when it is blocked off from vehicle traffic.
The problem with this part of the Schuylkill river trail is that it's very crowded. Lots of bikes, joggers, strollers, kids, tourists. It's scenic enough, but you definitely need to keep an eye out if you're trying to exercise or even just keep moving.
Who is giving BHR less than 5 stars? it deserves 6! A stunning and iconic visual intro to Philly when approaching from the highway and an affirming scene of vitality when via the River drive. No city in the USA has a single block its equivalent, they wish!
Walk, run or bike along Schuylkill river trail to reach beautiful boathouse row area. Pack some snacks and enjoy while you leisurely sit on one of the green spaces between boathouses. Sunset time is the best to visit this location as they turn their decorative lights on right after sunset and the reflection in water looks magnificent. You can also enjoy a good view of Philly downtown from boathouse row.
Love the views from here! Access to Fairmount Park trails and picnic areas. Gourmet snack shop inside the main building where the restrooms are. Bike rentals too.
