Kayaking On Wood River and Wyoming Pond - in Wyoming RI Rating: One-and-a-Half Stars - I like this the scenery in this route. Turtles, ducks diving and surfacing in front of me at Wyoming Pond. Further up the Wood River, feels very remote despite the occassional traffic noise from nearby roads.   Put in above dam at Bridge   Street in Wyoming RI. Paddle upriver north   to rapids and return.

At Wyoming Pond launch area in Wyoming RI. Trip date is July 2012. Parking area at Wyoming Pond launch. Wyoming Pond and Dam viewed from Route 3 bridge. Just launched on Wyoming Pond. Trip plan is as mapped above: to paddle upriver north to Wood River as far as I can and return. A turtle sunbathing on Wyoming Pond. Aquatic plants. The sides of Wyoming Pond is filled with aquatic plants. Will try to follow the main flow of the river clear of vegetation. I will follow this main flow of the water but paddling upstream. Water lilies. This nudist is not shied with my presense. Skunk Hill Road bridge. I am now leaving Wyoming Pond and onto Wood River. I liked that outdoor fireplace! Marshy area. River depth about up to my knees. I have to portage over this tree. Easy because river is below my knees. I finally reached this rapids. I dismounted and walked to the rapids to see what lies beyond. Looking donwstream from the rapids. Time to start my return journey. Now paddling downriver to get back to where I started. I have to slide over this tree which is about 2 inches below water. Skunk Hill Road bridge. Now entering Wyoming Pond. The Boston Kayaker has landed! Two hours and 15 minutes on the water.
