Expands Lowell's Boat Shop livery has entered its second year after a successful launch last summer and now offers expanded hours and new programs. Mike Browne and new livery supervisor Jenn Parker are excited by the growth of the livery and the guided rowing trips they and other volunteers will be leading on the Merrimack River and other areas this year. The Livery will be open to the public on Thursdays and Fridays from 4 to 7 pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 7 pm. Seasonal memberships are available that allow virtually unlimited rowing.
Members can also bring along guests.
Livery supervisors on staff check out all rowers to ensure they're ready to row, and issue life jackets and other gear. The Livery also maintains a chase boat in case anyone has trouble on the water. This year members can look forward to special features such as guided rowing trips. Mike, Gail, and Isaac Browne plan to lead frequent Sunday morning trips in the Merrimack River and the nearby Powow River. The river is quiet and looks pristine, and you see a lot of wildlife.
