Pelloni Preserve

4.11 miles, 2.4 mph; hopkinton, ri

this hopkinton land trust preserve is kind of a mess. the trail map shows named trails, but there are no blazes and no signs, and a lot of random crossing trails that go onto private property. it was hard to tell where i was.

i was fairly confident this was an actual trail, though i don’t know exactly which one i was on. i figure the bridge is too nice for private property.

private?

once i got to this spot, however, i was kind of guessing i was on private property. i can’t imagine the land trust folks endorsing buddhism.

this is the only point on the whole walk i was absolutely sure i was on one of the named trails on the trail map. know how i was sure? there was a trail on the map labelled “dead truck trail.” bingo.

i have added this hike to the hikefinder, but the mileage on the entry includes a lot of backtracking, so i really have no idea how many miles the trails on this preserve add up to. the map i’ve linked to is the hopkinton land trust map, and i didn’t mark my route on it. so your mileage may vary considerably.
