Ell/Long Pond Preserve also presents itself as a renowned piece of Hopkinton property it is Rhode Island’s First National Natural Landmark! Managed by the State, Audubon Society of RI and The Nature Conservancy, it takes a village to man almost 300 acres of rugged bedrock cliffs and hollows. With an approximate 8,600 acres extending through portions of West Greenwich, East Greenwich, Coventry and Exeter, this multi-use space includes hunting, fishing, hiking, bird watching and bicycling (allowed on surface roads). Another area gracing the western hemisphere of the state is Big River Management Area and Carr Pond.
You can expect in late spring and early summer an exceptional variety of warblers and songbirds. Richmond, Exeter, Hopkinton and West Greenwich are home to this expansive area with more than a dozen hiking trails and possibly one of the only places in Rhode Island where it is possible to see a Pileated Woodpecker. Spanning over four towns, the Arcadia Management Area has over 14,000 acres of beautiful forests with hiking trails, fireplaces, picnic tables canoe rentals and more. With acres of untouched and untapped terrain, it’s almost impossible to take to the open road without seeing a preserve, refuge, state park or picturesque coastline. If South County is synonymous with anything, it is the great outdoors.
