We brought our own gear and rented another. Friendly staff, quick check in. Reserve early in week. Gear is not torn, but definitely used by many . Lots of parking space, nice time on the canal. Fitzwater pub right there, excellent food after a day on the water.
very approachable, and its a nice trip even with the portage.
...you are going on the canal or river, a pfd is to keep you safe. ask them to hose it if it matters to you, The gentleman we dealt with was very nice and easy going.
Great place to rent a canoe/kayak/rowboat to float done the canal and onto the Delaware River for a time. It was an awesome experience thanks to Schuylkill boat rental!
Always a great time on the water. The loop is pretty mellow. Half is on the canal and half is on the Schuylkill river. You will have to lift your kayak out of the canal and carry it to the Schuylkill and the Schuylkill back to the canal.
It takes me about an hour to an hour and half to do the loop. There is a great restaurant at the launch point for lunch.
I can see why some people here said they brought their own gear . The life jackets are really really dirty :( . Our canoe was in good condition and we had a nice little trip on the canal , there were lots of ducks and turtles . They do however need to work on their gear , they guy who helped us out with the rental wasn’t that friendly either . Maybe it was the hot weather .
