I can't wait for the trip tomorrow! I'll be there with a blue necky kayak. Will the trip get cancelled if it ends up raining in the morning like it's supposed to?

Hey Guys, Myself and 3 other guys are going to do this run on Thursday morning (3/13). We will put in at the dam in Harrisville and take out behind Uncle Ronnie's (formally Gus's Red Tavern) If anyone would like to join us we should be launching around 9am.

Erik, have you and your friends ever done the sweet rapid on the Clear River as it crosses under RT. 107 Burrillville for the first time? It's a nice swift II with a bend. There's a put-in right up the road on the left. Anyone up for helping me clear the Chepachet this summer? That has an awful lot of potential in the spring time. See you guys Sat. I'll have a yellow Riot. I know other people coming as well. ps - I just mailed in my membership

Chris...as far as I know there will be at least 3-5 canoes, 3 kayaks. Most if not all of the canoes will be both paddling and poling. Paul: You're right, it begins as the Clear, but it actually becomes the Branch less than halfway through the trip, where the Chepachet (pronounced Shep-ah-shay by New Yorkers) joins it right above Oakland Dam. -Chuck

I'm looking forward to this trip!!! Does anyone know how many people plan on going and if they will be in canoes or kayaks?

Hi Erik, I know I mentioned this before , but it's actually the Clear River - the Branch joins it nearly at the end of the trip. Hopefully, we get some rain before this Sat. Do you ever postpone if it's raining or too high?
