★★★½ 3.84 miles interesting loop down the pachaug trail to philips pond, then back up trail 1 road. 50:50, hikey:walkey, moderate climby in a few places. hiked with a friend and found a geocache (looked like a geocache-genius when, after fruitlessly wandering through the underbrush, just said, “heck, if i was hiding a cache, i’d […]

★★★★★ 3.67 miles just didn’t have the energy to research and map out a new trail today, so i revisited one of my 5-star faves. it didn’t disappoint. took a shot on a unmarked trail and wound up following the railroad tracks for a spell, but managed to loop back around to the marked trails. […]

★★★★★ 3.63 miles wonderful property, if a little weird to get on to (you walk right down someone’s driveway and through their front yard). old quarries, cellar holes, pawcatuck river views, chapman pond views… lots and lots to offer. great walk. and did it with a friend, which was something new! and fun! 50:50 hikey:walkey, […]

★★★★ 2.7 miles took an easy 2-mile stroll down narragansett way in ashaway thru part of chapman swamp. it ended at a kind of creepy deserted area by the pawcatuck. but it was too nice to go home, so i also visited a magical little preserve in ashaway. all very easy walking; 10:90 hikey:walkey, no […]
