Earl checked a couple parking lots and put-ins this morning (THANKS Earl) and Cold Spring Park in Woonsocket looks good for a Wednesday paddle. We'll launch at 10:30 (forecast temps above freezing then and rising to low 40s). Current plan is to go both upstream and downstream from the put-in.

In case you had any doubts - Wet/dry suits required.

The park is on Harris Ave across from Winter St.

Interested, depending on location. Rivers might be running fast.

See you there at 10:30.
This section of the river is above the dam in Woonsocket, so the river is being held back.
Some current but fast.
