We had to change the date of the Providence River trip that was set for Tuesday to Wednesday. The high winds would have made the paddle on Tuesday unsafe. We are offering it now on Wednesday 7/13/22.
July 13th Providence River on Wednesday. Note trip had to be rescheduled due to high winds on Tuesday. Meet at 6:00- launching promptly at 6:15. Trip coordinators: Cheryl Thompson stonefoxfarm@juno.com or 401-497-5887, Manny Terezakis @ egterezakis@gmail.com>
No RSVP is needed for the paddle.
We will put in at Bold Point in East Providence, paddle across Providence Harbor to the Hurricane Barrier, and up the Woonasquatucket River to the Providence Place Mall. Kayak skirts are recommended for the crossing.
