Description
Please join us for our free, guided kayak/canoe paddles on Thursdays. We will pass various local conservation lands, including some of our own Westerly Land Trust preserves. We’ll stop for a swim on some of the trips! These paddles are between 1 ½ to 3 hours long. Bring your own kayak/canoe, paddle, life jacket, whistle, water, snacks, etc. We will shuttle vehicles at 9:30 AM unless stated to the contrary. Please arrive early: our trips leave promptly.
This scenic paddle will take us by Burlingame Management Area. Put in on south side of Rte 91 at state access area down a steep incline, river right. Wood River shortly joins the Pawcatuck on left. A two-foot drop over a broken dam in Burdickville can be run on right at reasonably high water. Look for fast-moving water just to left of a stony island near shore. For portage, ease boat over dam on left bank.
Takeout is Bradford Landing, which is located off Rte 91 in Bradford. Visit www.westerlylandtrust.org for details.
