Fairmount Dam Fishway
Originally uploaded by jomak14
The Fairmount Dam Fishway is situated within the Philadelphia city limits on Fairmount Park property, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, 13.6 km (about 8 miles) upstream from the Schuylkill's confluence with the Delaware River. The Fairmount Dam marks the uppermost reach of the tides on the Schuylkill. The improved fish passage at Fairmount will benefit the entire freshwater ecology and economy of the Schuylkill River watershed. (Article excerpt from Philly H20: Fairmount Dam Fishway)
