season!
Also look for our "Ranger
Nights" every month when we are guided by
National Park Service Rangers
on interpretive paddles.
We have rental boats available
for people on the first and third Tuesday evenings of the month from our
vendor
Great Canadian. (Membership requirements are
waived for those paddlers renting boats on our rental nights) We have a
limited number of kayaks and canoes that may be reserved for a fee.
To reserve a boat, call Great Canadian at 1-508-865-0010. Call to
leave a message with your request (kayak or canoe), and Great Canadian will
return your call with a confirmation. .Great Canadian will drop off
your boat at the paddle location and bring it back to their shop after the
paddle.
This evening will be solely devoted to
paddlers interested in learning basic strokes that will allow them to
better control their boat, whether they paddle a canoe or kayak. Join
us for these "Introduction to Paddling" nights. Great Canadian
will rent boats for these nights as well.

Nights" are free of charge and included with your membership or boat
rental! Trips are not offered on these evenings.

Blackstone Valley Paddle
Club
Pot luck picnic.
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.

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.
