The “Perky”, as most residents refer to it, has 14 miles of navigable waters from south of Green Lane down to the confluence with the Schuylkill near Oaks.

Maps and video guides of the three main sections of the Perkiomen Creek can be found on the Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy’s website.

The Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy fosters local stewardship of the Perky and its many tributaries through environmental education, watershed stewardship, and conservation programs.
