"This review might be a lil belated since These pics are from like or something…. But this place left a lasting impression on me fer surez!! Definitely Beautiful spot for a quiet romantic walk… the scenery is on point, and there’s soOo many different directions to just randomly walk and explore with someone lost in conversation… or even by yourself lost in thought while contemplating whatever your lil brain desires! All in all this is DEFINITELY a must stop if you find yourself just walking around Philly and wanting beautiful scenic views with a dash of interesting structures and architecture that has so much history the energy is tangible …"
"Very pretty at sunset."
"After years living in Philly, we discovered this perfect spot for a view of Boathouse Row and the Schuylkill River. There is free 2-hour parking in the adjacent Fairmount Water Works lot (if available). Learned that this dam was the longest in the U.S. when built in , and has been re-built several times. The dam is a short walk from the Art Museum. And, there's an overlook walkway."
"Fairmount Dam has an interesting history in Philadelphia; and one of the hot spots for people who live in the city. One can get a nice view along the side of Art Museum of Philadelphia thru Kelly drive. There are grass areas one can go enjoy the sun on warm days. It is Very nice place to visit to enjoy outside festivities in the city."
"Pretty dam, but I would come here more for the Museum and Philly views than the dam itself. It does get a little murky with lots of brush and trees piled up, sometimes trash. Just keep in mind before you trek over here. It is a beautiful area to walk around, though, and plenty of other photo opportunities."
