Three ladies enjoying the peace and tranquility of kayaking.
Ladies only. Please join the ladies from Women’s Wilderness Weekend of RI for a guided eco tour with Narrow River Kayaks. The cost is $45 per person and all equipment is provided. If you’d like to bring your own equipment, you’ll receive a $10 discount. Payments will be made at the event, so please confirm with us to let us know you’re coming, as there is a required minimum of 6 ladies. No prior paddling experience is necessary.
The trip starts at 10am. After brief instruction and orientation, paddlers set off on an approximately 2.5-3 hour round-trip tour of the lower portion of the Pettaquamscutt Watershed, commonly known as “Narrow River”. A Master Naturalist will lead paddlers through either the kettle ponds at the head of the watershed or salt marsh of the John H. Chaffee National Wildlife Refuge. As you explore the tidal flats and estuary, witness firsthand what lives in the watershed formed by the last receding ice sheet over 19,000 years ago and what makes is so unique. Hear about past, present, and future concerns for the watershed and efforts being made to preserve the ecosystem.
