Paddling near East Providence, RI
On the west bank of the Seekonk River in Providence County, East Providence puts paddlers on tidal saltwater right from the city shoreline. The Seekonk runs ~3 miles before merging with the Providence River and Narragansett Bay — the same route Roger Williams paddled in 1636. The Ten Mile River, Turner Reservoir, and the tidal Hundred Acre Cove round out a city with rare immediate access to both fresh and salt water.
