Join us for a weekend overnight trip on the Schuylkill River! On this trip, we will paddle roughly 12 miles each day covering a large part of the Berks County section of the Schuylkill River. We will paddle the always fun Kelly’s Rapids, through the city of Reading, and camp at the historic Lock 54 campsite.
