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.

From the roadside trailhead the entrance trail passes through a scrub forest and a stone wall, and then continues into acres of a native grass meadow with views of the Narrow River. On the south side of the meadow the trail enters a wooded area with a small impounded pond that probably was a watering hole for cattle. The property is named for the fortified house destroyed during King Phillips War by the Narragansett Indians in December 1675.

This beautiful 26-acre coastal property is nestled along the Narrow River in South Kingstown. The one-mile walk follows a loop trail through deciduous woodlands, freshwater marshes, open fields and along salt marsh fringing the Narrow River. This property is of particular ecological interest because of its variety of habitats and because it abuts other conserved lands including the 554-acre John H. Chafee National Wildlife Refuge at Pettaquamscutt Cove (managed by US Fish & Wildlife) and land conserved by the Audubon Society of Rhode Island. Together these conservation properties form a contiguous band of wildlife habitat along Pettaquamscutt Cove and the lower Narrow River.

Note: As of late August 2016 the trail was reportedly getting quite overgrown and hard to follow. Long pants are strongly encouraged and be prepared for the trail to be hard to follow.
