Chocolateville to Valley Falls - July 3, 2018

Every time I look at the RICKA website it seems that I am leading another trip. Last night it was the Blackstone Valley Paddle Club trip from Chocolateville to Valley Falls.  

We put in at the Chocolateville Landing just upstream of the Roosevelt Avenue Bridge and the Elizabeth Webbing Mills Dam. Parking is a pain, and the put-in is down a steep, poison ivy covered hill, but other than that it is great. The river was low, but fluid - 1.5 feet, 200 cfs on the Woonsocket gage. It’s only about a mile up to Valley Falls where we explored the remnants of the old Valley Falls mill complex. Fun night.
