When the crews are on the water at dusk and the boathouses are lit the stunning view is to me quintascential philly

Even though we pass by across the river and view this quite often (since we are local) it never fails to attract our notice as it is so beautiful both day and when lighted up at night!

Amazing views all along the waterfront. Beautiful park area that goes on and on. You'll probably see a lot of other people and joggers, boats and a few vendors. There are a couple nice places along the way to stop and have a coffee or snack and rest, if you need to. If the weather's nice when you go and... More

Though there were no boats in the water, the area was very picturesque and relaxing. You could rent different kinds of bikes or grab a snack,... More

The place is beautiful and really worth a short visit. The view on Philadelphia city and on the river is amazing
