The Nature Conservancy<\/a>\u00a0for a hike along Tillinghast Pond’s less traveled trails. We’ll walk up to the old dairy barn, which TNC acquired in 2019, and then stroll out through a series of hayfields, passing three historic cemeteries along the way. After returning to the barn, we’ll continue the hike around Tillinghast Pond.<\/p>\nTotal distance: 4.5 miles. Difficulty: moderate, for distance and occasional small hills. Restrooms available. Dogs are not permitted.<\/p>\n
Tillinghast Pond is TNC’s largest nature preserve in Rhode Island. The 13-mile trail system was designed in partnership with the National Park Service and offers a sense of remoteness that is hard to find in southern New England.<\/p>\n
