| With Bill in the 17 Wenonah |
After all the years I have been paddling, it is nice that there are still new rivers for me to do. I did one today when I paddled the Taunton River. It was another tandem trip with Bill in his Wenonah Original 17'.
The Wild and Scenic Taunton River arises in Bridgewater and flows south to Fall River where it flows into Mount Hope Bay. The 37-mile river is one of the flattest in New England falling only 20 feet over its entire length. That is probably why I had never paddled it before, and also why it is the longest undammed river in New England. The river is tidal as far north as Taunton.
We put in at the Berkley Bridge in Dighton and paddled upstream about 4-miles to the new Weir Village Riverfront Park in Taunton. After a short break, we paddled back downstream, and took a short detour (about a mile) up the Three Mile River to the dam. Overall it was a 10-mile trip.
