Join the Westerly Land Trust on our free-guided trail walks on Thursday mornings. We will visit various local conservation properties, including some of our Westerly Land Trust preserves. Walks are between 1 ½ to 3 hours and are open to all ages with our target group being agile seniors. Please keep in mind that these are wooded trails with stumps, roots and rocks so be sure to wear hiking boots or good walking shoes. Be aware that our hikes leave promptly, so please arrive on time.

A scenic walk featuring uplands and salt marshes overlooking Little Narragansett Bay. The gravel tracks and footpaths in this area form a series of interlocking loops. Slopes are gentle. Take US 1 west from Pawcatuck for 2.5 miles to the traffic signal at Wequetequock Cove. Turn left on Greenhaven Road, then immediately right, on Palmer Neck Road. Follow Palmer Neck to the parking lot just before the boat ramp.
PLEASE NOTE:
Inclement weather cancels and if in doubt, contact leader.
If the weather is icy you should bring stabilizers or something for traction. If a lot of snow bring snowshoes.
