The Ten Mile River Watershed Council is thrilled to announce the release of their new book, a guide to outdoor places, “Easy walks and paddles in the Ten Mile River Watershed.”
Our book launch event will take place on National Trails day, Saturday, June 2, from 1-3PM at Hunts Mills, 65 Hunts Mills Road, Rumford (E. Providence) RI. Come join us for light refreshments and a guided walk alongside the Ten Mile River at Hunts Mills. Books will be available for sale at this event. All proceeds benefit the watershed council.
Looking for places to walk with your family and/or friends, or with your dog? Hoping to spend time in the outdoors on a trail that is ADA accessible? Or maybe you have a canoe or kayak but don’t know how to find safe canoe launches. You’ll find information to satisfy all these needs, and more, with maps to each trail head, inside this book. The river travels through Plainville, North Attleboro, Attleboro, and Seekonk, MA, and Pawtucket, and East Providence, Rhode Island, before reaching the Seekonk River, at Omega Falls.
Members of the Ten Mile River Watershed Council worked together with Marjorie Turner Hollman, author of two other books in the “Easy Walks” book series, to create this guide to outdoor spaces in the towns that host “their” river. The group offers regular river cleanup efforts, as well as group walks, open to the public. The Ten Mile River Watershed covers 54 square miles of Northeastern Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. Its headwaters are in Plainville, with two major tributaries, the Bungay and the Seven Mile rivers. Forty-five lakes and ponds are in the watershed, and many towns once used the river as a source power for mills, and as drinking water.

The development of this book is supported in part by grants from the Plainville, Seekonk, and North Attleboro Cultural councils, local agencies which are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency."
