Rice City Pond with the BVPC - June 23, 2026

It had ben raining for two days, but it stopped in time for my Blackstone Valley Paddle Club trip at Rice City Pond. We put-in at the Tri-River Medical Center and paddled upstream under the Stone Arch Bridge at Hartford Avenue and up an old section of the Blackstone Canal. Then we paddled across the top of Rice City Pond and up the Blackstone River before shallow water forced us to turn around and head back to the put-in. Nice night but no pictures – I forgot my camera.
