The Rhode Island Blueways Alliance hits the water

Posted

In the Ocean State, waterways are a dime a dozen. Lucky us. Exploring new aquatic territory has never been easier as the Rhode Island Blueways Alliance has just created 20 detailed, full-color paddle trail maps with the help of some friends, including wa-tershed organizations. Each has described places to paddle along with helpful information on where to park and interesting (we swear) facts.

Locally, the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council features a downtown Providence paddle that begins at South Water Street Landing and ends at Eagle Square, while the Buckeye Brook Coalition showcases one that ends at the abandoned (and supposedly haunted) Rocky Point Park. Moshassuck River Watershed will send you splashing through ponds at Lincoln Woods and the Pawtuxet River Authority and Watershed Council guides you through Pawtuxet Falls. Maps showcase paddle tours throughout the state and can be downloaded online.
