Narragansett Bay trip
reports
Section#1
Bold point to
Pawtuxet cove and return
Trip distance 9 miles
I started at bold point on Sunday May 11th.
Shortly before 9am. I paddled south along the east shoreline and crossed
over to the west shoreline at fields point, this is where the “Save
the Bay” headquarters is located.
I then continued down to the entrance of the
Pawtuxet
River. I paddled past a few marinas
and had to stop before the bridge since the Pawtuxet is dammed up at
this point I then turned around and at the entrance to the river is
a large jetty. This jetty is attached to the George B. Salter grove,
a park located in
Warwick, RI.
I beached the kayak and climbed up on the jetty and had lunch. There
was a nice view from the jetty. On my return I paddled diagonally
across the bay to
Pomham Rocks Lighthouse.
Section#2
Pawtuxet
cove to Conimicut point park and return.
Trip distance 9 miles
I started at the park on Sunday June 1st.
shortly before 8:30 am.
When I drove to the launch location it was sunny and warm, as I got
close to the water the fog rolled in thick. I paddled along the
shoreline in dense fog for about an hour, and then the sun finally
broke thru. When I arrived at Conimicut point, I ate an early lunch,
and relaxed on the beach.
