1.7 miles; Exeter and Richmond, RI
Just a short pre-lunch walk with a friend around this pretty little pond.
Cardinal Flower
We ambled through the abandoned fish hatchery and stopped to admire the cardinal flowers in bloom.
Smaller Joe Pye Weed
There were also some very attractive joe pye weed plants that seemed to be a smaller variety than the ones you see everywhere this time of year. Quite nice, almost like they were a dwarf variety.
Fish Pond
These old fish ponds look like they could still be used. It’s a mystery.
Browning Mill Pond
Glad that the RI DEM’s plans to build a new headquarters on the shores of this tranquil little pond were scrapped. It’s such a lovely spot!
You can find out more about Browning Mill Pond from this State of RI website. As always, click the image above for details about this hike and to download the gps track.
