Paddle and Swim at Georgiaville Pond: Cool off and unwind on this paddle on Georgiaville Pond in Smithfield. We’ll launch from the historic Smith-Appleby House and make our way to the town beach, where participants are invited to take a refreshing swim or a short hike to the Georgiaville Pond dam. 

• The WRWC provides canoes, kayaks, paddles and life jackets. 
• All skill levels are welcome.
• Children are welcome, if accompanied by an adult.
• Trips typically last approximately 2 hours, depending on location.
• All participants must wear a life jacket (PFD), even if you bring your own boat.

Sliding Scale Cost

• We use a sliding scale pricing model. The lowest end covers our basic costs, while the higher end helps support our work and makes our programming more accessible to more communities.

$30 - 50 – rent of solo kayaks 

$50 - 70 – two-person canoe 

$15 - 35 – Bring Your Own Boat per person

What to bring: 

• Wearable Coast Guard approved PFD
• Comfortable clothes to canoe/kayak in, including either boots or shoes that can get wet. The best clothes to wear are things that dry quickly if they get wet (e.g., nylon rather than cotton).
• A sweater or jacket in case you get cold.
• Insect repellent and sunscreen
• Rain gear if there is a chance of showers. Serious rain will cancel the paddle.
• Drinking water.
• Put anything that you want to stay dry in a dry bag or a heavy plastic bag. Remember that electronic car keys do not like getting wet!
