Rivers Day is an opportunity for you to get out on the
water with fellow RICKA members or your family:
·
Bring or use free rentals with Blackstone River
Expeditions kayak and canoe rental.
·
Take a 20 min River Tour aboard the Explorer.
·
Tryout being part of a Dragonboat crew or signup with
one of the two premier clubs in the state.
·
Book an overnight stay aboard the Samuel Slater.
Built in Cambridgeshire, England, this authentic
British canal boat can host up to 4 people for a unique
overnight experience.
National Rivers Day was created over 20 years ago to
promote recreational activities on the Blackstone River
(like RICKA!).
Today, with the Blackstone included within one of
the newest National Historic Parks, they now also
celebrate conservation and environmental stewardship of
the river.
RICKA volunteers will staff a tent to promote our fun
canoe and kayaking organization and will be joined by
other organizations such as those listed below.
So come on by and be a part of the fun, history,
conservation, and excitement of National Rivers Day.
