Tinkham Road at Central Street Harrisville, RI 02830

In the spring, when the river is high, you can launch canoes and kayaks into the Clear River here and take on Rhode Island’s only real whitewater paddling run. From this put-in there are 5.8 miles of mixed Class I-II whitewater, flatwater and quickwater paddling on the Clear River and then the Branch River before you reach the take out on Slatersville Reservoir. Since this is a paddling run for experienced paddlers only, use the AMC River guide for details.
