AMC Narragansett Summer SUP Paddle East Greenwich RI

Please join us for a fun and easy paddle in bucolic Greenwich Cove to celebrate the dog days of August in the paddling season. Thanks to the AMC Narragansett Chapter all SUP equipment rental fees will be waived for AMC members. Just sign up and provide your AMC member number while registering.
Plan on a review of equipment and basic strokes, and easy going paddling along the perimeter of the Cove past the Goddard State Park Boat Launch Ramp to Long Point and back. Distance to cover- about 2 miles round trip. This paddle trip is rated Easy using the AMC difficulty rating system- see https://www.outdoors.org/outdoor-activities/difficulty-ratings.
Wind is always a key factor in paddling (esp. standup paddleboarding, and we expect it to be minimal given our early morning departure. High tide is at 9:30AM- we will paddle upstream and with the slack/outgoing tide on our return.
We’ll meet at the foot of Crompton Ave (right off Rocky Hollow Road), at the bottom of the hill near the handicapped access boat launch across from the L.L. Paddling Outpost trailer. There are a few parking spaces on the right and left sides of the road, and many more up the hill at the dog park.
Our outfitter L.L. Bean will provide all equipment for this excursion, including paddle, lease, and personal flotation device (PFD) thanks to the AMC Narragansett Chapter.
Please get there by 8:30AM so that we can get everyone squared away before our 9AM departure. We also recommend checking your google maps and traffic flow to stay ahead of any beach traffic. You must wear a PFD on this trip. We also strongly recommend water shoes/booties, sunscreen, a hat, and of course, plenty of water.
