In Rhode Island the primary hunting seasons typically run from the second Saturday in September to the last day of February and from the third Saturday in April to the last day in May, however this can vary from year to year and depends on what game is being hunted. During hunting season you should wear at least 200 square inches (a hat OR a vest) of blaze orange. During shotgun deer season, which is typically in December, you should wear at least 500 square inches of blaze orange (a hat AND a vest). For more information see the RI DEM website.

This property was opened to the public in 2017. In 2018 the Cumberland Land Trust expects to acquire abutting lots which will increase this preserve to 200 acres. Also in 2018 more trails, presently marked as black dashed lines on the trail map, will be blazed and new trails will be created.

For most of the 20th century the Blackall family owned and farmed this property. The 18th C. family homestead is on Old West Wrentham Road. The western half of the Blackall property was sold and developed as Highland Corporate Park for the CVS corporate headquarters, apartments, and commercial office space. The eastern half of the property was conserved as open space. Much of the land north of the power lines was an apple orchard, now overgrown but a few apple trees still survive along the trails. Visitors can see remnants of the farming history in the impounded cattle ponds, cart paths, miles of well made stone walls, and a horse riding ring (yellow trail). The many stone walls kept separate the pastures, wood lots, and apple orchards.

Unfortunately, as of the fall of 2024 there are reportedly people riding dirt bikes here, which is not allowed. Please use caution when walking here, especially if you see signs of dirt bike activity or hear dirt bikes.
