West River - Uxbridge - Friday

Posted by Frank on 1/20/2021, 5:47 pm

I'm paddling the West River in Uxbridge on Friday, launching at 11:00. I checked today, the West River Rd put-in is ice free. The current forecast for launch time is 39 and sunny, going all the way up to 41 degrees by mid afternoon, a beautiful day for a winter paddle. You will likely have to get your feet wet at the put in. Wet/dry suit required and all covid protocols apply. Please RSVP here so I know you are coming and so we can limit it to 10 participants (although that is not usually a problem in January).

If you are unfamiliar with the put in, it is on West River Rd just north of Rt 16 (Mendon Rd ). The address 28 West River Rd Uxbridge on Waze will get you there. Note that the old landmark of Country Side Farm and Garden's big red building is no longer on the corner.
