What we’re about
This group will be hiking regularly in the area of Southern Rhode Island (Exeter, Charlestown, Westerly, etc.), and occasionally beyond!
This group was made for people who love to hike, and may be members of other hiking Meetup groups, but cannot routinely drive up to the hikes in Northern Rhode Island on busy weekdays.

Join us on a 7.5-mile hike beginning at Saddle Rock Road, where parking is available. The trail follows a narrow path that is rocky in some sections and winds through varied terrain with a mixture of pine needles and dirt underfoot. This is a great area to see wildlife and spot the different mushrooms in the understory.
The hike will go through the Pratt Conservation Area, Wickaboxet Management Area, and Tillinghast Pond Management Area with planned stops at Tillinghast Pond and Rattlesnake Ledge.
