August 25th Ranger Night Spring Lake Party and Paddle 6:15pm Rentals Available   National Park Service Rangers will join our group this evening and will host the party!

Suitable for all levels of experience  

Annual VIP and Paddle Club
Pot luck picnic.

NPS Ranger Valerie Paul will be there to guarantee plenty of fun..

For the Spring Lake Party and paddle, we will put in at the boat ramp on Black Hut Road (see directions below). There will be a van or car there to shuttle our potluck contributions to the party over to the beach. We will put in and paddle and land on the beach . This will cut down on cars parking in the beach lot and will allow our BVPC club members to paddle over and enjoy the party as well!

Spring Lake, is a nostalgic treasure, located in the Town Burrillville.  Spring Lake was created at the turn of the century as a summer recreational area and continues to serve the needs of many folks seeking summer relaxation and fun!  Paddle boats, an ice cream stand, spring-fed lake, volleyball on the beach, and best of all, the penny arcade with antique arcade games.

 

The picnic hall has been reserved for the VIP and paddle club picnic. 

 

Complimentary pizza & lemonade will be provided.  Please bring your favorite pot luck picnic dish to share. Plates, napkins & spoons will be provided. 

Come ready to play!! Bring your bathing suit,  toys & games".
