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.

Due to Construction on the off-ramp revised directions to the club are as follows:

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 left lane. Take the first left exit to Ridge Ave about 20 feet after the bridge (do not follow directions to Lincoln Drive). Take next left exit to Ridge Ave and make left at light onto Ridge Ave. Stay straight on Ridge and pass under two bridges. Cross over the Wissahickon Creek bridge and make immediate left before the bus station (practically under traffic light) into gravel parking lot. Continue through 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.
