Where do you go north of the city?I swim in it pretty regularly and look at me, I'm fine
Only time I don't, is after a storm. That's when it's nasty. All the storm drains in Philly and Camden lead to the river. Trash, needles, sewage, etc. Takes a few days to clear up. Most of our swimming is well North of the city anyway though.
There use to be a great ramp that was free and maintained by PSE&G in that area. I used it a few times 8 or so years ago. Its tight and has limited parking but puts you in right near the canal. However someone told me is now closed. I'm not sure its current state but it is on the map still.Anyone have advice for a ramp close to the CD Canal on the Jersey side? Looking to do a Chesapeake Inn run but looking to cut the boat ride down a little bit. Im thinking the Salem River?
Never tried it, but if you do please report back! I've been looking for a southern boat ramp to make the trip to C&D shorter.Has anyone ever used this ramp?

Does not look great on google maps. Would definitely like to hear if anyone else local to area could take a peek before driving over there. Hopefully I'm wrong and that is an offseason picture from years prior and dock is taken out or something. The sun is too southerly to be taken this year.Pennsville Public Boat Ramp, Riviera Dr, Pennsville, NJ 08070
That ramp is just down the street from me. I can confirm there are no docks at this ramp any time of the year. I put in at Stanton’s marina on the Salem river.Does not look great on google maps.

Hello All! Been looking around here and found a thread with locations I am familiar with, feels great!
I got my 2019 SX195 2 days ago from Twin City Marine, a dealer in RI, and towed it back home for 5 hours. Nothing but good things to say about that dealership, easy and pleasant experience. Rudy, my sales man and VP of the company gave me an in-depth walk through of the boat which resulted him to stay late on a weekend right before 4th of July. Thanks Rudy!
We already boated on the Schuykill 2 times. I launch at Flat Rock Park, if you are ever there and see a gray/blue SX195, say hello! I might not hear you though, as I should have 3 screaming children with me on most occasions.
Looking forward to taking her on the Delaware and into the city sometime in the near future. Excited to be part of this community and to get a different (boating) experience of Philadelphia.
