River Cruise [Canceled]
June 13 @ 9:00 am – 2:30 pm EDT
[ ~ Canceled due to low water. This section of river paddles well around 400 cfs. Even with pending rainstorms, there won’t be more than 180 cfs on Saturday, as we are experiencing a Level 2, Significant Drought. Check out NOAA’s stream forecasting data ~]
Join the Westfield River Watershed Association for our annual River Cruise, downriver from Westfield to Robinson State Park. This is a calm section of the Westfield River with a few class I rapids, but mostly flat water with no portages. A participation fee of $20.00 per person ($15 for WRWA members) will help cover shuttle service, insurance, and light refreshments. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. and continues to about 9:30 a.m. in the municipal parking lot off Meadow Street near the Great River Bridge in Westfield.
Participants will register, unload boats and gear, drive their vehicles to Robinson State Park (parking fees apply), and return by shuttle to the launch area. Staggered Cruise departures will begin around 10:30 a.m.
Parking fees at Robinson for the River Cruise are $5 for Massachusetts residents ($10 for a Lifetime Senior DCR Pass) and $20 for out-of-state vehicles. DCR parks use the Yodel app.
Please RSVP by emailing info@westfieldriver.org so we know whom to contact if the event is cancelled due to severe weather or low river levels.
