Blackstone River Expeditions is excited to offer 90-minute guided kayak group tours on the Blackstone River departing from Central Falls Landing. On your journey you’ll learn about the Blackstone River Valley and explore the hidden spots along the river with the chance to see the many species of wildlife that call this waterway home including egrets, painted turtles, cormorants, osprey, and “Sam” the lone mute swan.

2025 Dates: June 14th, July 12th, August 9th, September 13th, and October 11th. Rentals are available for single kayaks or tandem kayaks (two people). NOTE: A minimum number of kayakers will need to have signed up for the session to run. Also, NO TOURS if the Blackstone River is running too fast (over 1,000 cubic feet/sec by reading the USGS gauge).

These 90-minute Guided Group Tours Run on the 2nd Saturday of Every Month at 10:00 AM. Advanced Booking Required.
