There’s just something about being by the river. The sunshine, the sound of the water, and a little time to slow down.

Although, honestly, one minute just isn’t enough. 😉

We think everyone should get the chance to experience it for themselves. That’s why we’re here — helping more people in our community get out on the water and see what makes it so special.

The Connecticut River gives us… a place to belong.

Friends.
Boats.
A little more time outside.

Not a bad way to spend an evening.😊 🍂

Evening light.
A little time on the water.

There’s something pretty special about seeing Holyoke from the Connecticut river.

So… what is rowing at Holyoke Rows really like? 🚣

If you’ve never tried it before, it can be hard to picture. Is it intense? Competitive? Do you have to be athletic already?

At Holyoke Rows, there's a space for everyone. Rowing can be a chance for a middle schooler to try something completely new, a way for a high schooler to challenge themselves and be part of a team, or a new sport for an adult—whether you’re getting in a boat for the first time or have been rowing for years.

You’ll learn, get stronger, spend time on the water, and most importantly, learn how to move a boat together with a crew. And beginners are welcome!
