“Great chance for free fun in the city. You are allowed to rent a kayak for about 45 minutes free of charge”

“Surprisingly calm place (so close to Philadelphia) to go kayaking for free on Saturdays. All you have to do to row or kayak is quickly sign a waiver and take a second to talk about safety. The people that work there are volunteers, and they always seem nice! Get there early so you dont have to stand in a line to sign the waiver!”
