Audubon Long Pond Woods Wildlife Refuge
Long Pond Road, Hopkinton, RI

Join a rocky hike through the dramatic landscape of the forest and slopes in the Audubon Society of Rhode Island's Long Pond Woods refuge in Hopkinton. This 220-acre refuge has two miles of scenic trails that showcase the protected towering hemlocks and beautiful groves of rhododendrons. Enjoy a guided hike to a scenic overlook high above Long Pond. The terrain and overlook are reason enough to explore this area but spring is also a great time to look for early butterflies, emerging wildflowers and migrating songbirds. Sturdy shoes are a must and walking sticks recommended as well as appropriate clothing. This is a fun but strenuous and occasionally steep walk.   Ages: 12+
