Kelly Drive

The portion of the Schuylkill River Trail that runs along Kelly Drive connects you to Lloyd Hall, Boat House Row, Laurel Hill Cemetery, and many other iconic spots in East Fairmount Park.  This is also part of the popular eight-mile loop that takes you out to the East Falls Bridge.

To get there from Schuylkill Banks, follow the trail as it goes under the MLK Jr. Drive and Spring Garden Street Bridges and continue past the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center (which will be on the left/river side). Once you see Lloyd Hall and Boathouse Row on the left, Kelly Drive will be on the right.

To walk or ride from Kelly Drive to Schuylkill Banks, turn right onto Water Works Drive at Lloyd Hall, continue along the trail past the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center and follow the trail under the MLK Jr. Drive and Spring Garden Street Bridges. There is a slight incline up a hill and once you are at the top of that incline, you are on the Schuylkill Banks portion of the Schuylkill River Trail.

Looking for parking? There is a parking garage at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and a parking lot near Lloyd Hall.
