Hike to Long Pond & Ell Pond
Hopkinton, Rhode Island
5.0
5.7 mi
Long & Ell Pond is a favorite hike at any time of the year, but it is not for the faint of heart (or small children)! The path immediately becomes more of a rock-scrambling adventure than a hike, but the views are so worth it.
This GPS address will lead you down a dirt road but you should easily find the trailhead and a small parking area that is well marked on the left. This trail is pres...
Hike the North & South Peaks of Pack Monadnock
Temple, New Hampshire
5.0
8.3 mi
/ 2290 ft gain
This route will take you to both peaks and on most of the trails in this section of the park!

Then continue out on the Wapack Trail for 2.3 miles until you get to the peak of North Pack (2278'). Take the Cli...
Birdwatch at Sachuest Point
Middletown, Rhode Island
1.5 mi
A trip to Aquidneck Island would not be complete without a quick walk around Sachuest Point. I highly recommend this hike at sunrise, but any time of the day (or year) is great! This nature preserve is home to a large population of tourist-friendly deer, and is visited every winter by at least two snowy owls. I highly recommend the Ocean View Loop (1.5 miles) - this is a great spot for amateur ...
Hike the Osprey Point Loop on Trustom Pond
South Kingstown, Rhode Island
2 mi
Careful on the drive in for deer!
From the parking lot head right around the Farm Field Loop Trail then continue to your right down Osprey Point Trail (0.8 miles). This is where you will most likely see the deer up close. Continue to your right to the Osprey Point Overlook, which will (on a clear day) provide you with a beautiful view of South Kingstown Town Beach and Block Island. Turn back an...
Hike the Fort Wildlife Refuge
North Smithfield, Rhode Island
1 mi
The parking area is about 50 yards down the dirt driveway on your right. Take care in the spring, as the parking lot can become a mud pit!
This wildlife refuge is a series of loops which lead to three different ponds. These directions are for the 'Pond One' loop. When you start on the trail, stay straight. There are numbered markers on the right hand side of the trail to guide you. About half ...
