New East Falls boat landing on the Schuylkill River will be ADA-accessible — and a great bird-watching spot

Paddlers will have a new entry point onto the Schuylkill this summer in the East Falls neighborhood.

Construction on an ADA-accessible boat landing site near the East Falls Bridge on Kelly Drive commenced earlier this month and is scheduled to be complete in late August. The East Falls Development Corporation spearheaded the project with the goal of making the river more accessible to all, said Peg Shaw, a project director at EFDC.
