Travelling all through urban settings, this route along the Schuylkill River begins in Reading and takes out in Pottstown. Just four miles after put in, there is a dam that will need to be portaged around on the right. Although through urban areas, thick forests buffer the river. There are many interesting islands throughout the route and bridges cross over every 3 to 4 miles. Most of the land along the river is privately owned and thus cannot be camped on.
