Trip on October 11th moved to the Narrow River

Posted by Erik on 10/2/2025, 6:05 am

Due to low water at Tully Lake, I am moving the trip on October 11th to the Narrow River.

We will put in at Sprague Bridge. High tide is 11:30, so we will meet at 10:00 for a 10:30 launch. We will do a round trip up through Pettaquamscutt Cove and the Narrows between Middlebridge Road and Bridgetown Road – about 6-miles. Those who are interested can paddle down to the beach when we get back to the bridge. You must be a strong paddler as we may have current and windy conditions. Suitable for boats 14-feet or longer. Bring a lunch.

Put in:
298-276 Boston Neck Rd, Narragansett, RI 02882

Additional parking is available on the other side of the river on both sides of Route 1A

Looks like we are going to have a nice day for the trip tomorrow:

Partly sunny, with a high near 66. Light east wind increasing to 5 to 9 mph in the morning. A slight chance of rain after 2pm. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

High tide is 11:35, so hopefully we will paddle up and back with the tide. Current usually isn't an issue, but it can get windy - especially going through the marsh. Tough to know what to wear this time of year. Water is around 67. Air temps in the mid 60's. Change of cloths probably isn't a bad idea.

Bring a lunch, we will stop somewhere around Bridgetown Road.
