Narrow River Kayak, Eco Depot Resource Recovery Trudge On Despite Weather

Narrow River Kayak’s opening weekend was slow to say the least, as unfortunately rainy Saturday and Sunday were the demo days.

Narrow River Kayak offered free demonstration all weekend long, but only a few braved the weather with gray skies, cold wind and below average water temperatures and enjoyed the events.

Jerry Sparks demonstrated the Santa Cruz Raptor, a fishing kayak stable enough to fish standing.

Gansett Juice and BicSports attended with the demonstration on paddle boarding.

Narrow River Kayak is open from now until the end of May, Thursday through Sunday, and starting June 1 seven days a week. They invite you to come and enjoy the adventure of the river.
