Schuylkill River Sojourn, In 18th Year, Wins National Award

Explore the Schuylkill River by kayak or canoe in this nationally acclaimed guided tour that begins in Schuylkill Haven and ends seven days later in center city Philadelphia:

Participants paddle 14-18 miles per day and can register for the entire trip or as little as one day.

Sometimes it is wet and wild. At other times it is peaceful and inspiring.

There are a few rapids, calm water, plenty of laughs, songs at the campsites, and celebrations in the river towns. There is a little bit of everything for paddlers throughout the week-long sojourn that begins the first weekend of June. And though the same route is paddled every year, a different river greets us every June.

The sojourn takes place from June 4 through June 10. The program is in its 18th year running.

The Schuylkill River Sojourn has just won a national Public Outreach Project Award from the American Society for Environmental History.

This year's theme will be the Centennial of the National Park Service.
