Trip Planning
Reserve your trip as soon as possible. Trips
reserved and prepaid before May 1st receive a 10% discount. (This
special cannot be combined with other discount rates).
Day Trips
As
the number of paddlers increases so does the chance of the unexpected.
If you are an experienced outdoors person, but inexperienced in
leading a group in canoes and kayaks, contact us early in your planning.
If your trip is a youth trip, be sure to have enough adults to ensure
a safe adult to youth ratio. We are happy to provide tips and check
lists that will help you put together the details of your trip.
Many groups take advantage of a guide... It’s a great learning
resource and maintains a better staff ratio. For help in planning
the route, feel free to consult our interactive
map of the Taunton River
Be sure to have your release forms either mailed
in with your trip confirmation forms or bring them with you the
day of your trip. Plan your schedule and arrival time to allow 1/2
hour for orientation and sign in.
What to wear:
Bathing suits or shorts for warm weather.
Wool and windbreakers in cool weather, wet suits or dry suits in

A poncho and a change of clothes in a dry bag.

Overnight Trips
Overnight trips require more planning than the
day trips especially if it is an unguided trip. Our Camping
checklist will be very helpful, just print it out and check
the items off as you add them to your packs. If you are taking a
guided overnight trip, our staff will take care of providing everything
except your sleeping bag and personal items.

trip, you are responsible for making the reservations and obtaining
permits. If you plan to camp at Plymouth Rock KOA, you will

at Camp Titicut you will need a permit from the Bridgewater
