Northampton Community Rowing

p Crew grew quickly into a vibrant program for both youth and adult rowers. In 2013, the organization began to work with the City of Northampton to develop a site off Damon Road on the north end of the city. The new 11 acre site on the west shore of the Connecticut River includes a public, shallow boat landing in a harbor dug in the 19th century to connect the river to a canal that once ran to downtown Northampton. In June of 2015, NCR completed construction of a new 3600 sf boat storage building. NCR is working with support from a State of Massachusetts PARC Grant and the Northampton Community Preservation Commission to provide canoe and kayaking programming by 2018.
