More Fog in the Morning – Camp Cronin and the Narrow River – July 19, 2017

Point Judith Light in the fog

I got an early start and headed down to Camp Cronin.  Just like yesterday, it was too foggy to paddle, but I did take some pictures before heading off to my alternative paddling location – the Narrow River.

The Narrow River, also known as the Pettaquamscutt River,   originates in North Kingstown and flows south into Narragansett Bay at the Narrows above the Narragansett Town Beach.

I put in at the Sprague Bridge on Boston Neck Road, and paddled south toward the Narrows. At the Narrows, a lone fisherman stood in the waves breaking along the beach.  I paddled out to get some pictures of the rocks at Cormorant Point before heading back. 

Above the bridge is the John H Chafee Wildlife Refuge. Established in 1973, the refuge at Pettaquamscutt Cove includes over 550 acres of wetland that attracts bird of all species. I was sad to see that the little red cottage that had been falling into disrepair for many years had been removed.  Too bad – it made a nice picture.

The little red cottage is gone - kind of sad...
