Public Access on the Blackstone

You don’t really think about these rivers in our town. The protection of the landscape is easier if you can go recreate on the Blackstone. You’re protecting the spaces that you look at every single day.”

- Eleah Caseau, Conservation Agent, Town of Shrewsbury

Thank you to all that participated in our 2025 Blackstone Public Paddle and River Celebration!

On 9/14, we paddled 4 miles on the Seekonk River from Pawtucket to Providence together, and then celebrated the Blackstone at Narragansett Brewing, complete with live music, food, drinks, and a 30 foot model of the river!

We hope to see you at our public paddle next year!
