Rating: Two Stars - This river interested me as there are no written articles in the internet about any kind
of boating in this river. Until now. The river at the put in starts narrow with a quiet
flow. There are downed trees but have been cut to allow passage. At one point I have to slide
over a tree. Palmer River gradually widens and in the last half of the route is more like a lake.
Winds are blowing on my face and waves and splashes. Took me more than 2 hours to paddle Palmer River.
Put in at Providence Street in Rehoboth MA.
Take out at Kelly Street in Warren RI.
Estimated distance = 5+ miles
