English: The Schuylkill Canal, or Schuylkill Navigation, was a system of interconnected canals and slack-water pools along the Schuylkill River in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, built as a commercial waterway in the early 19th-century. The Schuylkill was in operation until 1931 and was almost completely filled in the 1950s. Some remaining watered reaches are now used for recreation.
