September 12th –Wickford Harbor and backwaters
Coordinator: Erik Eckilson eckilson@cox.net 617-794-0378
Meet at 10:15 for 10:30 launch
This trip started as the Concord River, then moved to the Sudbury River, but with travel restrictions for RI residents going into MA, I have now moved it to Wickford. We will put in at Wilson Park and paddle the calm, wind-protected backwaters among the islands and marshes. We will then paddle out into Wickford Harbor and down into Wickford Cove. Suitable for all boats and all levels of experience – bring lunch.
Directions - turn onto Intrepid St. from RT 1 (it's just North of the junction of RT 1 & 1A, near the fire & Police stations). Continue to the launch and the parking lot at the very end. NOTE: You can also get to the launch by going through the main entrance for Wilson Park from RT 1A, just South of the RT 1 & RT 1A junction, but it might be easier going the other way.
