Narrow River Kayaks is in the midst of another great season of paddling. We can't wait to see our returning customers and friends and look forward to meeting many new ones! Please let us know how we can make your experience more enjoyable.
The Pettaquamscutt Watershed area provides a number of options for paddlers of all ages and abilities. One can paddle a short distance to the beach and ocean to ride the waves, fish, picnic, or just relax. Also a short distance from our location are Pettaquamscutt Cove and the John H. Chafee Wildlife refuge. Those wishing to paddle longer distances can venture upstream to the kettle ponds and Gilbert Stuart Birthplace.
Narrow River Kayaks has a fleet of over 75 kayaks and canoes, so we can accommodate groups of just about any size. Whether you're looking to spend a couple of hours on the river or a full day, our friendly, helpful and experienced staff will provide you with everything needed for a safe and enjoyable experience on Narrow River. We look forward to seeing you soon, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call!

ABOUT NARROW RIVER AND NARROW RIVER KAYAKS
Narrow River Kayaks was the vision of the late Robert Ryder and established in 1992. Since then it has served as a means for many to enjoy one of the most unique and beautiful waterways in the area.
With average river depths of only 1-4 feet and access to the ocean, the Narrow River is the best place in the state for beginners and advanced kayakers.
Only one nautical mile to where the river meets the ocean! Take a picnic lunch or play in the surf at Narragansett Beach!
Narrow River Kayaks offers you a launch directly into the unique Narrow River. The Narrow River is comprised of a tidal inlet and salt marsh, an estuary, a fjord-like pond, a freshwater pond, and a river. The wildlife refuge is right at our front door!
For a comfortable day of paddling, we suggest you bring shoes and shorts that can get wet, a hat, sunscreen, and a towel. It is also a good idea to bring a change of clothes to leave in your car.
Narrow River Kayaks also sells an assortment of accessories including dry bags, waterproof containers, pfd's, paddles, paddle leashes, tow ropes, sunglass lanyards, boat sponges, and foam blocks and straps for kayak and canoe transportation. We also sell many of our kayaks at the end of season.
Open daily 9am-5pm weekdays (EXEPT TUESDAY - THURSDAY - OPEN UNTIL 8pm in July and August) and 9am-6pm weekends during high season (weather permitting).
All rentals include paddle, pfd (personal flotation device), and basic instruction.
Outdoor shower, changing tent, and restrooms on site.
