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.
