With all the recent rain there were lots of whitewater trips running yesterday, but I took a break to do a local flatwater trip that I had never done before. Its called Great Swamp because it flows though the Great Swamp Management Area in Rhode Island’s South County. The trip doesn’t have rapids, but it has everything else – beautiful scenery, lots of twists and turns to maneuver through (great place to practice those “functional freestyle” moves), and an open water crossing on a wind-blown lake.
