The lone fisherman at the bottom of Flat Rock Dam.
Spotting beauty along the trail.
The end of the Manayunk canal where it meets the Schuylkill river.
The wall out in the middle of the water divides the river and the canal.
Flat Rock Dam and the Manayunk Canal were completed in 1819.
Walking the towpath from Shawmont Avenue towards Main Street.
Flat Rock Dam from a distance.
What a great place to live. Where else can you live surrounded by nature, history and still live in the city? This is my ancestral town dating back to the early 19th century. I would not want to live anywhere else. This is definitely my happy place.

Believe it or not, you can take the bike path in Manayunk/Roxborough all the way up to the towns listed above.

Looks like a beautiful park, full of history. I was surprised not to see a lot of fencing to keep you away from the buildings and old pumps. Thanks for the tour.
