River Bend Farm - June 9, 2018

Rice City Pond

I’m leading the Blackstone Valley Paddle Club trip at River Bend Farm this week, so I went up to scout it out. The river was just over 3’ on the Northbridge gage.

I paddled up into Rice City Pond as far as Lookout Rock. It was low, but OK if you stayed in the main channels. The river was low, but with good current, including the usual tricky side currents. The water in the canal was covered with pollen, but as you move upstream it clears up. No greed duckweed yet.

I brought my camera, but I forgot to put the memory card in. Guess how many pictures my camera will hold without the memory card - just two, so here they are.
