Open Boating Days at Glen Foerd

  • Glen Foerd 5001 Grant Avenue Philadelphia, PA, 19114 United States (map)

Join us at Glen Foerd for open boating! We’ll have canoes, rowboats, and kayaks for guests to explore parts of the Poquessing Creek and Delaware River. This activity is open to all ages, though be prepared for summer temperatures and moderate physical exertion. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Getting in and out of your boat can be a wet and muddy experience. Please wear appropriate clothing and consider bringing something to change into after the activity. Don’t forget your water, snacks, and sunscreen!

This is a walk-up, first-come, first-served event. Boat space is limited. Glen Foerd staff will do our best to ensure as many people get out on the water as possible, but we can not make any guarantees.

The meeting point for this event will be behind the Carriage House. If you have any questions, please contact our Environmental Program Manager, Robert DiTomasso, at rditomasso@glenfoerd.org or 215-632-5330 x14

Events can be canceled on short notice due to weather and river conditions. Please check our social media and website for cancellations.
