Welcome
Friends of the Pawtuxet is a group of concerned citizens who promote the health of the Pawtuxet River as a valuable resource and encourage its responsible recreational use.

The Pawtuxet River courses through Rhode Island, starting at the Scituate Reservoir and ending at the falls in Pawtuxet Village, where it empties into Narragansett Bay. Friends of the Pawtuxet helps to maintain trails in this lower Pawtuxet River and it organizes canoe days for family enjoyment of the river. On canoe days, you can bring your own canoe or rent one. You can also take a guided nature tour through the mature red maple forest. Learn about the wonders of native plants along the way.
Please check out the this great presentation about flooding on the Pawtuxet River and its causes by David R. Vallee of the NOAA/NWS/Northeast River Forecast Center. Flood2010
