This trail goes north and south the span of the city -- it is a very long and wonderful biking and walking trail along the Schuykill River we would recommend taking up on a beautiful day. You come across popular sights such as Art Museum & Boat House Row. Map Marker is not important here -- you can go up or down, along the river. We recommend starting north by Art Museum or even further North by Fairmont Park / Zoo and finishing down south by Fitler Square, and then cutting through the city to Rittenhouse Square.
