Description

Please join us for our free-guided trail walks on Thursdays.  All walks are at 10 AM unless stated to the contrary.

If the weather is icy you should bring stabilizers or something for traction. Be aware that our hikes leave promptly so be on time!
 
Ryan Park, North Kingstown 
 
This walk in Ryan Park is around Bellville Pond, a very pretty and little known pond in North Kingstown which is approximately 5 miles long. The trail is mostly flat and easy walking. If the snow cover is heavy bring snow shoes.  From Westerly take Rte 1, merge onto Rte 4. At the second stop light after merging onto Rte 4 turn right on Oak Hill Road. There are two official entrances to the park both on Oak Hill. We will meet at the first entrance on the left. Look for a sign for Ryan Park close to the ground.  From the north, take Rte 4 south then left on Oak Hill and follow above directions.
