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. |
