Harrington Preserve North via Big River Management hike

This will be a moderately paced loop hike to Harrington Preserve North in West Greenwich via Big River Management. Harrington Preserve North is a newly established public preserve managed by the Nature Conservancy containing 207 acres and is located next to Big River Management. The woodland trails here will be rugged in some places featuring boulders, stone walls and a beaver pond, with a web of paths that extend from the Big River trail system. There may be a few flooded streams to cross. The hike will mainly be along mountain bike trails with old logging paths.

We will also venture over to the Adirondack Chairs at the Overlook for some fantastic views before we reach the preserve and later hike a scenic section of the "I See Dead People Trail".
