Beautiful hidden Wildlife Reserve, the trails were more of a nature walk, but you can still get in a workout if you hustle. Lots of little hidden gems along the trails

655 Ocean Rd, Narragansett, RI 02882
South on route 1A just before Scarborough Beach is a great place for hiking & photography. The trail runs along the beautiful rocky section of the shore. The grass paths cut through the native greenery and lead all the way to Scarborough Beach. Great spots for photos along the way! If you make it all the way to the trail’s end there are the remains of a historical stone building. Excellent Views, Easy Trail, Tide Pools, Boulders, Rocky Coast: you can extend your walk into the beach to make it longer

Sweeping view of the ocean and Block Island to the south from a scenic overlook. Susanna’s Woods is noted for its stands of oak once used as woodlots for the plantation families who farmed the flat land nearer the coast. Though the area was never cleared, it has been continually cut for 300 years.

5 Park Lane, Charlestown, RI
This hike has four miles of trails set in 858 acres of swamps, grassy fields, and the largest saltwater pond in Rhode Island, Ninigrit Pond. There is even an old airfield. It is a little confusing when you enter the park where to find the hiking trails, and I suggest continuing along the road until it ends in a parking lot.

Beavertail State Park provides one of the best sunset views in Rhode Island. It is at the end of Jamestown Island, so you get a panoramic water view.
The 2.3-mile hiking trail loop brings you into forests, or you can scramble along the boulder-covered shoreline. There is also a massive lighthouse and a large lawn for kite flying.
** The paths can get a little overgrown, so it's best to turn. This is a very easy walk/hike, but the sightseeing is amazing. I recommend Beavertail even just to visit, take in the scene: the ocean, rocks, sailboats, and the lighthouse!

Avoiding Ticks - Using Repellant
It's best to use tick repellant and try to avoid high grasses. We have deer ticks that are as small as the period at the end of the sentence and can transmit Lyme disease. So, I always try to avoid overgrown areas and stick to clear or wide trails and/or I treat my clothes with Permethrin or DEET and do a tick check after hiking.
