Fisherville Brook

3.37 miles; exeter, ri
i know i’ve been here at least 3 or 4 other times, but i actually had to go back and read what i said about it to see what i thought. i apparently enjoyed it a lot those other times… not so much this time. there was a relentless ankle-deep carpet of leaves all over the trail, making slogging along noisy and a bit treacherous. and since these woods are so open, with hardly any undergrowth, it made the trail hard to see. thank heaven it was well blazed.
oh look! a bench!
this is the bench-happiest place i have ever walked. i must have gone by a dozen. it seemed as if there was one every quarter mile or so. do people really get that tired hiking under 3-1/2 miles? really?
beaver activity
this little body of water is called “upper pond.” lots of beaver activity, though i imagine that right now they’re all snug in their lodges. there was a skim of ice on the surface of the water.
fields
this property kind of skirts along the edges of several large fields. it makes for a welcome change from the endless sea of leaves.
you can find fisherville brook in the hikefinder.
