River Conditions Report:

This map shows selected river conditions that may be useful to paddlers and other users of the river and allows you to tell us about conditions you encountered that you think other people should know about. The data presented here are largely collected by volunteers including people like you who paddle the river and provide reports on conditions. So you should not assume that the information presented here is current or comprehensive. We highly recommend that get a copy of our River Guide before paddling in the watershed, or you can come with us on one of our paddling outings and leave the planning and organization to us! For information on put-ins and take-outs you can also visit the ExploreRI.org website.

WARNING: From June 28 to August 31, the section of the Pawcatuck River from below the Horseshoe Dam to the Shannock Road Bridge below Lower Shannock Dam should be avoided due to habitat restoration work on the Lower Shannock Dam. Paddlers will be unable to take-out at the usual public portage near Lower Shannock Dam because a coffer dam will be in place in the river about 100 feet upstream of the dam. Construction equipment will be in the area. Please plan accordingly. As of June 18, the Wood River from Rt. 165 put-in to the confluence with the Pawcatuck River is cleared of obstructions. If you note any changes, please use the map below to report it, or email denisep@wpwa.org. As always, wear your life jacket.
