February 15, 2021Didn't heed the warning about the yellow trail, definitely still flooded. But a great little hike nonetheless. Used my yak trax on my boots. Cool to see all the history here.

January 18, 2021For starters- don't follow Waze. Look for this on Pine Orchard. As for the
January 10, 2021Nice trail, very clean. The yellow trail is impassable because of water.
January 1, 2021December 30, 2020December 27, 2020Great short wooded walk! Very well marked. Beautiful stone walls and vernal pools. We’ll definitely be back for all seasons. Hunting is allowed so next time we’ll wear our orange. Our dogs loved it too.
December 27, 2020Beautiful winter hike. The part that says it is flooded is definitely flooded. This route was just right.
December 2, 2020Very quiet and easy relaxing walk. Some old stone structures and miles of stone walls. Wear orange during hunting season. Some poop on the trail.
November 28, 2020Awesome trail! Defiantly top 5 in RI!
November 21, 2020November 15, 2020Parking lot. Many trail options. Be aware if you take a quick right because that trail does have some wet areas. Great mix of pine, hickory, and oak forests. Lots of mountain laurel. A few great geocaches. Can make shorter or longer with trail options. Worth it.
November 7, 2020Beautiful hike, lots to notice, foundations, brooks, granite bridges. Orange is a must to wear during hunting season here. Also, notice a missing piece on the map of Anthony's Trail, is an area of swamp impossible to hike through unless you're wearing high rubber boots. Otherwise be prepared to turn around. Nicely kept trails, thank you.
November 6, 2020October 27, 2020Easy trail. Nice walk!
October 24, 2020October 18, 2020October 17, 2020We had the trail to ourselves on a Saturday AM, the hike was well marked and beautiful. Loved the stone bridges and foundations.
October 11, 2020Beautiful trails. No traffic noise makes you feel secluded and peaceful. Lots of historic foundations to explore. Only complaint is there aren't any water features but nonetheless the area is gorgeous and makes you feel like you are in a truly ancient New England forest.
October 7, 2020It was a great walk. Clear paths, well marked. Forgot it was hunting season so orange is a must!
October 1, 2020Wonderful hike with the Bucketlist Girls Paths were nice and wide and the foliage was beautiful. No issues with roots sticking up, just be extra careful with leaves covering the rocks.
September 25, 2020Beautiful, quiet, peaceful walk through the woods. Dogs loved it. Just a few other folks around.
September 13, 2020An easy walk for beginner. You can see some historical scenes during hiking. But no elevation or water/lake.
September 12, 2020We went around 10:20 AM on a Saturday and didn’t see anyone on the trail until we were leaving. Our dog loved it and the path was shady and clear.
September 12, 2020September 12, 2020Easy walk through the woods. Well maintained trails. A few people, but not too crowded.
September 5, 2020August 31, 2020August 22, 2020Well marked and shaded the whole time. Not many bugs. Some elevation gain and lots of scenic changes along the way. I loved the informative signs.
August 12, 2020We walked the Sprague loop and somehow managed to end up on the Haystack Route. We looped around and decided to see where we wandered off. Successfully completely wandered off-route. A few of the paths had fallen trees covering them from last week's storm. It's a beautiful area. We will totally visit again. I didn't find it any buggier than any other wooded area in August. It was super quiet and lush with ferns and birds. It was precisely what I had wanted, minus the wandering off route (but that is my fault, not the path)
