2008
- Riding the Tide with Buckeye Brook - June 21, 2008
Explore Warwick’s hidden treasures with the Buckeye Brook coalition for this paddling event, which is open to all levels of experience. Join us for a casual paddle where we will meet at the parking lot at Conimicut Point, near the play ground area. We will be heading out at approximately 9:00 AM heading west to the estuary of Mill Cove. Where we will discuss over 300 years of history made along this absolutely beautiful watershed. Explore the wildlife & picturesque scenery, Buckeye Brook is a jewel within the urban city of Warwick. It is the home to one of Rhode Islands only natural free flowing herring runs in the state. The trip should take only about 2 hours, & will be just prior to an incoming high tide, & an out going tide on the return trip. Come enjoy wildlife, history, & the beauty that Buckeye Brook has to offer. Bring your own canoe or kayak, refreshments, binoculars, & maybe some bug spray.
