Pedal and pick apples at Woonasquatucket River Council ride

Posted

Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council (WRWC) is sponsoring a fall bike ride to Dame Farm in Johnston for some good old fashioned apple picking on Sept. 24 starting at 10 a.m. This bike ride is part of the “Explore the Woonasquatucket- Source to Sea'' recreational series. From the headwaters of the Woonasquatucket in North Smithfield to downtown Providence, the series tours beautiful and historic sites throughout the Woonasquatucket River watershed, with paddle trips, hikes, and bike rides. Check out the full schedule at WRWC.ORG/EVENTS.

Enjoy a pleasant, 7-mile bike ride to Dame Farm in Johnston for some classic, autumn apple picking. This trip will leave from Riverside Park in Providence and travel along the Woonasquatucket River Greenway bike path. Where the paved path ends in Johnston, you’ll travel on-road along Greenville Avenue, passing by many of Johnston’s scenic farms and Snake Den State Park. Participants must bring their own bicycle (in good working order) and wear a helmet. Also, be sure to bring a back-pack or basket as we will each be coming home with a bag of fresh-picked apples. This ride is 14-miles round trip, with some steep hills, and will take about 4 hours.

Visit WRWC.ORG/EVENTS to register for this bike ride and to see the full “Explore the Woonasquatucket” recreational series schedule! Advance sign-up is required.
