Roxborough Reservoir it's a late 1800's reservoir at the highest point in the city- the Roxborough/Andorra area of Philly. It consists of two basins that take up almost 30 acres.

It is unusual because one basin has a large established wetlands ecosystem, and is of interest to Audabon / Academy of Natural Sciences / Friends of Wissahickon as migratory bird fly over/ nature area.
