“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the State of Rhode Island and the Department of Environmental Management to expand our operations into Lincoln Woods,” said Kristin McGinn, co-owner of Providence Kayak.
“Making our waterways accessible to all and enabling people to enjoy water sports here in Ocean State is our number one goal. This additional location allows us to do this for people who want a more rural setting just outside of downtown Providence, ”she added.
