DISTANCES: 

I had this trip planned months ago as an add-on on the way home from an REI hiking trip in Maine that I had registered for.  REI then cancelled all of their adventure trips but I kept the Rhode Island part and so glad I did - it was so much fun!

THE HIKE: 

This trail was only half a mile from the hotel I where I was going to be staying.  It's a lovely little trail right on the Rhode Island/Massachusetts state line.

Lots of decking in the beginning heading around counter clockwise.

A beaver swam towards the bridge as I was standing there but couldn't get the camera to focus in time.

Turner Reservoir

At some point along the way, leaving Rhode Island and entering Massachusetts.

To the left, an orange loop trail on a peninsula.

The trail comes out on a road for a bit of road walking on sidewalks.

Back into Rhode Island.

Turner Reservoir from the Newman Avenue.

Just the other side of the bridge, left back into the woods.

To the right, mowed paths through Bridgeham Farm Conservation Area.

These silly wabbits were hopping straight towards me!

Back out on to the Turner Reservoir Loop.

Coming out on Pleasant Street at the other parking lot.

Left across the bridge ...

... back to the parking lot.

Arriving at Ramada Inn Providence-Seekonk which I do not recommend.  For $190 for the night it was a budget motel quality room.  I tend to be germ phobic in motels/hotels so I bring my own sheet, blanket and pillow along with sanitizing wipes to wipe down all surfaces.  I was glad I did.
