Cold Spring Park Boat Ramp

Cold Spring Park is a city park in Woonsocket offering hand-carried boat access to the Blackstone River with on-site parking.

Note that paddlers heading downstream must portage around the dangerous Thundermist Dam (a lengthy 1/3 mile portage on city streets to River Island Park), and the river in this area features occasional quickwater and Class I whitewater suitable for more experienced paddlers.
