General Information

PCC has been in existence since 1905, and is a dedicated group of canoeists and kayakers. All of the club trips, training, and events are open to the public, and do not require membership. The club promotes paddling, and paddlesports in the Philadelphia area, training new paddlers, and leading trips all over the US, year round. Come out and paddle with us! We'd love to have you along!

The PCC clubhouse is located on the bank of the confluence of the Wissahickon Creek and Schuylkill River, within the Fairmount Park System of Philadelphia. Our driveway entrance is at the traffic light on Ridge Ave. by the SEPTA DEPOT/bus stop, just south of the Manayunk Main Street movie theater.

From the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76), take exit #340A (formerly exit #32), which is marked by signs to Lincoln Drive and Kelly Drive (or stay on City Ave as it crosses the Schuylkill River). While crossing the City Ave bridge, stay in the far right lane. Follow the ramp to the bottom and make a left at the light onto Ridge Ave. Stay in the left hand lane and pass under a bridge. At the second light make an immediate left before the bus station (practically under traffic light) into a gravel parking lot. Continue through the parking lot to the paved driveway for the Philadelphia Canoe Club. If no parking is available along the driveway, turn right at the end of drive and follow the "ADDITIONAL PARKING" signs.
