A small, grassy town park on the Paskamansett River with a simple canoe put-in, a picnic table and bench, and a short tenth-mile woods walk that dead-ends at private property. Water can run shallow, so paddling distance is limited, but it's an easy spot to launch a canoe with kids or look for turtles and frogs along the bank.
