Kelly Drive parallels I-76 and offers an alternative to the freeway for other cars (avoid rush hour traffic by taking this route) and outdoor recreationalists. The trail is perfect for joggers, strollers, bicyclists, and people with dogs. It parallels the river so you can take in the scenery and the old boathouses on Boathouse Row. In the mornings, you can see people out rowing on the river or take part yourself. The trail goes all the way to Valley Forge if you are interested in a rather extensive day of biking - bring a picnic lunch and enjoy scenic Philadelphia as you re-enact the route taken by George Washington (three-cornered hat optional).
