ABOUT NRC

Welcome and open to all

Welcome! The Noank Rowing club is a diverse community who provides fine team sculling & coaching opportunities for its members, and the community at large. Our experienced coaches offer a no pressure opportunity to all athletes and abilities with a focus on youth and adult learn to row programs that introduce anyone to the sport of sculling in a sheltered cove.

What is the club about?

Noank Rowing Club is a non-profit ‘building community one stroke at a time’. NRC is for all ages, abilities and seasons rowing out of Spicer Park, on the Beebe Cove, Noank Connecticut. We own and maintain over 19 active shells.

Beebe Cove’s encircled waterway is located on the west side of the Mystic River, offering superb flat-water conditions for learners and surprisingly calm water on most windy days for the experienced! The cove’s railroad bridge provides access to the Mystic River enabling long distance training, sightseeing and open water touring.

We offer classes for a range of ages, fitness levels and abilities, enjoying "life health through rowing". We gather for scheduled group rows four days a week where club members row together. Members also connect with others to row at any time. While some members like to remain in Beebe Cove, other more experienced people prefer to go out on the Mystic River for a longer workout, more varied surroundings, or more challenging conditions.
