Mass Audubon's Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary

👍 Ive been here plenty of times. Its muddy in certain spots. Wear hiking boots to go over the rocks and streams. If u like salt marshes and watching Ospreys then youll like it here. So pretty. They maintain the trails well.

👍👍 Walked the red trail today. We'll maintained. Cool bridges. Nice walk. Easy access and parking. Some spots have rocks, roots and occasional fallen branch or tree. Nothing that wasn't a major obstacle.

Whitehead Preserve at Dundery Brook

Nature preserve

👍 I loved these set of trails. My only issue is, I drove for a little while to get there, and they don't allow dogs. I wish there was something indicating this so people know before they go, but other than that, the trails were clean, well maintained, (and even with no foliage) beautiful. I'll definit...

Audubon Emilie Ruecker Wildlife Refuge

Wildlife refuge

👍👍 Great spot for a leisurely walk through the woods and along the shoreline on the east shore of the Sakonnet River. Beautiful views of Woodlands, clearings, marshes, inlets, and the river. It's easy to find and get to. The entrance and parking lot are well marked. They are on the west side of Main R...

DNRT Slocum's River Reserve

Hiking area

👍👍 Very, very beautiful. Can only speak to a winter twilight experience but if it's this beautiful in the cold and the dark, it's probably literally the perfect spots for a summer day hike. Bring a picnic and a kayak. This is a very special spot.

4.60 (61 reviews) (~11.26 km from centre)

Copicut Woods

Nature preserve

👍👍 There's several trails that sprawl throughout Copicut Woods, most eventually cross service roads. I went two days after the area received 2"-3" of rain and aside from a few areas being rather mushy underfoot, it an awesome trail walk. A great place to help one connect with nature.

DNRT Star of the Sea Reserve

Nature preserve

🫤 It's pretty to drive through but don't take the little trail there. It was hard to find, I drove past it twice. No signs to tell you where to go and the "trail" was nothing but mud. I walked along and I saw what I thought was dog tracks in the mud. It took me a while to realize that there wasn't a s...

Dunham's Brook Conservation Area

Nature preserve

😐 The entrance is on Main road, not route 88 where google maps brought me. The parking is tight limited to 4 cars, but you can park on main road. The route is rolling and the paths are fairly wide single track. The trail is very poorly marked and easy to get lost. I did an extra two miles. The cornfie...
