Hike Description

The Steere Hill area in Glocester, RI is comprised of four abutting parcels acquired from 1967 to 2010 with a total of 448 acres. We will be hiking on trails in the Steere Hill, Phillips Farm, and Heritage Park properties.

The trails feature some small hills as they wind through the woods and fields. The trails may have some wet areas, so a pair of hiking boots are suggested. Come prepared with bug spray for protection from ticks and other insects. Bring water (1.5 liter minimum) and snacks along for the trail.

Directions:

We will use a parking lot just off the Putnam Pike (Rt 44). It is almost across from the Harmony Post Office. If you travel west on Rt 44, the parking lot will be on your left.
