Located in East Fairmount Park along the Schuylkill River near Strawberry Mansion Bridge, this historic canoe house offers a concrete boat ramp designed primarily for kayaks and canoes, with ample parking for 87+ vehicles and amenities including public restrooms, drinking water, and picnic areas.

The site features a recently renovated landscape with broad boat ramps and docks, plus access to the Schuylkill River Trail; note that rowing teams (Temple University and Saint Joseph's University) operate here regularly, so paddlers should give them a wide berth on the water and at the docks.
