I wasn’t sure where to paddle this weekend, but when I saw
Earl post a trip on the RICKA flatwater message board for early morning run from River Island Park to Manville, I had my
answer.
This would be the third weekend in a row that I stayed close to home and paddled the Blackstone
River. The foliage was nice, but
maybe a little muted. I enjoyed it
just the same. In a few weeks the
leaves will drop and everything will look very different.

We ran the shuttle and got on the river around 9:30. The level was low, but runnable – 1.5 feet, 300 cfs. on the Woonsocket gage.
It was boney below the Bernon Street Bridge and the power lines, but at
least we didn’t have to get out of our boats.
We paddled along at a leisurely pace below Hamlet Avenue
Bridge and arrived at Manville around 11:00. I was home by noon – nice day.
