What’s Happening
Please join us for a scenic paddle of Point Judith Pond! Point Judith is actually not a pond, but the estuary where the Saugatucket River empties into the sea. Starting in an area busy with marinas, soon the paddle winds into more quiet, wooded spots. We will be on the lookout for birds and other wildlife. Point Judith Pond is a lovely place to explore by paddle--hope to see you there!
