The Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council offers free community paddles on the Woonasquatucket River, providing a welcoming introduction to kayaking and canoeing in the heart of Providence.

Paddlers of any experience level are welcome. WRWC supplies canoes, kayaks, paddles, and life jackets, and everyone must wear a PFD. Children can participate when accompanied by an adult. Participants who bring their own boat must also wear a PFD and complete a waiver. Spanish language support will be available on site. Activities take place at the Kinsley Avenue Boat Launch in Providence with support from AARP Rhode Island. Registration is encouraged but not required.
