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 Burrillville Bike Path is a rail-to-trail tucked away in the northwest corner of the state, linking the villages of Harrisville and Pascoag in Burrillville. The trail is 1.2 miles long and makes for an enjoyable out and back walk or bike ride. In the warmer months, enjoy the forested land surrounding the trail as you walk or bike and watch for wildlife. Year round, listen for bird calls as you pass through. About halfway down the bike path, walkers and bikers will find a paved and signed path that leads to a Duck Pond. The paved accessible path ends at a small cul-de-sac but hikers can follow a dirt path over a small hill toward the pond. Follow the path around the pond but be aware for offshoot trails as this section is not signed. Be sure to stay near the pond, which is town-owned property, and stay off the clearly signed private property. Look for small fish and frogs in the pond in warmer months.
