Maxwell Mayes Preserve
Posted By auntie on November 15, 2014
4.21 miles; coventry, ri
there aren’t too many places i want to hike on saturdays during hunting season. audubon preserves are best, because there is no hunting allowed ever. which really leaves some not bad places in rhode island, max mayes among them. if you do some re-tracing here you can get over 4 miles in. so i did. good, if very cold, day.
carr pond
carr pond is at the end of carr pond trail, duh, and you circle around about 180º of it. there are some private residences on this property, so you don’t get to circumnavigate the pond.
the famous “smoking frog” rock
the smoking frog is the highlight of the hammitt hill trail.
mystery trail
saw a new blaze… this blue/yellow/blue one. i’m assuming it’s a crossover trail, probably off the yellow trail, but i never noticed the other end, so i can’t be sure. anyone know?
you can find maxwell mayes in the hikefinder, and i’ve added a new auntie map to that listing.
[…] with the “take-a-hike” group. this is a very pretty property. glad i went. i found out what the blazed trail that isn’t on the map went to… it is a spur trail that goes to an old cellarhole, not a crossover trail as i had […]
