Gotta be the Lakawana river. My Father lived about 10 miles away from it his whole life, and had no idea it existed. But, it's super important as one of the biggest pollution causes for the Chesapeake bay thanks to the acid mine drainage. It's gotta win!

The mighty Lackawanna River was 2020 River of the Year and don’t you other rivers forget it!

Although eminently qualified, the Lakawana is not one of the nominees this year. Of the four nominees I'd like to convince you to vote for the Schuylkill.

I'll do it for $1000 or a very large cookie, my vote isn't cheap

How about a nice bike ride on the SRT in Phoenixville? We could stop for lunch at Fitzwater Station.

I walk my dogs on the SRT almost every weekend, they just paved the section by me at the beginning of this year and it's been great.

The section from North Coventry to Pottstown where the trail crosses the 422 bridge near Armand Hammer Blvd is going to be completed in the spring.

I might make it down there when it's warmer, lot's of biking to do in better weather!

I vote to disqualify the Perkiomen Creek.... because it's a creek!

snuffy_tentpeg OP t1_iylubj9 wrote

A vote for Schuylkill is a vote for the entire region. The Perkiomen has some beautiful sections though. I particularly like the cliffs near Arcola Road in the wintertime.

Vote for the Schuylkill. The Susquehanna people will hold it over the mighty Lackawanna.

How is this not always the Susquehanna?

Other rivers in Pa are merely streams compared to the Susquehanna.

In the absence of the Susquehanna, and recognizing your obvious dedication to that significant river, I'd ask you to vote for the Schuylkill.

snuffy_tentpeg OP t1_iyjwnph wrote

Since you can't vote for your river, I'd entreat you to vote for the Schuylkill River.

Or, write in Penns Creek! It's bigger than some rivers and it's named Penn! What's not to love

By this spring, the Schuylkill River trail will directly connect Reading to Center City Philadelphia.

I won't vote for the West Branch of the Susquehanna River after it flooded and made a mess of Loch Haven during Hurricane Agnes in 2972.
