Kinsley Avenue Community Paddles
Join the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council for free community paddles on the Woonasquatucket River this summer. Paddle alongside the experienced WRWC Paddle Team and enjoy a fun, beginner-friendly introduction to kayaking and canoeing in the heart of Providence.
These short 15–20 minute guided paddles are perfect for first-time paddlers, families, and anyone looking to build confidence on the water before joining longer river trips later in the season. Canoes, kayaks, paddles, and life jackets will be provided by WRWC.
All skill levels are welcome. Children may participate when accompanied by an adult. Spanish interpretation will be available on-site.
