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.
The Harbour Island Trail is a short neighborhood trail. The trail is wide, well-marked, and well-traveled. The main trail connects to Brush Hill and Beach Plum roads. There are two pretty scenic side trails that provide nice views of Long Cove in Point Judith Pond. From the Brush Hill Road trailhead (south), it is a little over a half mile to Island View Road, which connects to the Sunset Farm Loop Trail.

Ticks and Chiggers
Submitted by: Anonymous; June 16, 2023; 9:10 pm
Number 1, there isn't a place to park. Number 2, this area is known to have ticks, gnats, mosquitoes and chiggers. This is because for deer ticks you need deer and they are a plenty in this woods They also carry Lymes disease for your information. Chiggers are microscopic and bed into your skin where the clothes are tight-waistbands etc. The itching this mite causes is incredible. Just beware.
[Moderator's Comment: deer ticks do not actually need deer in order to survive and transmit Lyme Disease. Deer are just one of many animals that deer ticks can latch onto in order to get the blood they need to survive. Anyone going outdoors should be prepared for the possibility of encountering ticks, even in areas where deer are not present.]
