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.
What’s There:
Several parcels of land make up this 268-acre preserve. Some are owned by the Cumberland Land Trust and others by the Town of Cumberland. The land is gently rolling with ridges affording views, trails through open woods and wetlands, and a meadow with benches for observing bluebirds (on the Bluebird Trail). A high tension power line bisects the area. Some parts of this area were farmed until the 1970's.
