Site Description The Town Of Brooklyn Riverside Park Canoe Launch is very user friendly. Both novice and experienced paddlers can enjoy several hours here. The site is easy to find, has good parking, and can be used almost all year. Paddlers can travel three to four miles upstream and then return back downstream to the launch site.

This is intended to be a hand launch ramp; a locked cable prevents vehicular access. Nevertheless, be aware that small motorized boats do travel on this portion of the Quinebaug.

Changes and cancellations to trips will be posted on the flatwater message board. 

Please check the board before leaving for any trip.  Our coordinators provide directions as a courtesy to paddlers however, you are responsible to refer to a map and familiarize yourself with the trip location.

Any paddle sport is an assumed risk sport. Some aspects of canoeing and kayaking involve the risk  of serious injury or death. The Rhode Island Canoe and Kayak Association, although safety conscious, cannot guarantee your personal safety in club activities.
