The Schuylkill River (/ ˈ s k uː l k ɪ l / SKOOL-kil, [1] locally / ˈ s k uː k ə l / SKOO-kəl) [2] is a river in eastern Pennsylvania. It flows for 135 miles (217 km) [ 3 ] from Pottsville southeast to Philadelphia , the nation's sixth-largest city, where it joins the Delaware River as one of its largest tributaries.
The river current is strongest in the final four hundred meters of the race as crews pass Peters Island on the west side of the course. Lanes 5 and 6, closest to Peters Island, along with lane 1, on the opposite shore, generally have the slowest water current, making them the least desirable lanes in this downstream racecourse.
