Unlike some states where driving from one side to the other can take hours, Rhode Island’s small enough that we can get wherever we want pretty quickly. That means we can head out on an adventure on the other side of the state and sleep snuggly in our own bed at night. For a chill adventure that will help you reconnect with nature, head to this wildlife refuge in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
Spend some time breathing in the fresh air and reconnecting with nature at Davis Memorial Wildlife Refuge in East Greenwich.
The best way to get acquainted with this natural attraction is to head out on the single hiking trail. While it's kid-friendly, dogs aren't allowed on the trail or at the wildlife refuge.
Turn your eyes to the sky, too, because you'll likely spot a variety of birds, among them Baltimore orioles and yellow warblers. You might even see a duck or two on the ground.
The lone hiking trail tallies just over a half mile. It's short, sweet, and generally pretty quiet. You likely won't run into other adventurers on the path.
