Meet at noon on Sunday, November 3 for a 12:30 launch. We may not get past the scratchy section towards the end, as the river is probably low... but it should be sunny and a pleasant, low key trip. We have seen coyote crossing and deer from the river on previous trips.
Upper Pawtuxet River, Hope RI
Suitable for all boats and levels of experience.
Hope Landing Access. Rt.116 to Hope Furnace Road, access to upper Pawtuxet River.
