After all of this time cooped up inside, we've all probably been thinking about how to get out into nature as much as possible lately. Well luckily, Rhode Island has lots of opportunities to do just that! With beaches, forests, and everything in between, the Ocean State offers countless opportunities to get out and get some fresh air. For a fantastic day out, we really love the Osamequin Nature Trails in Barrington.
This preserve covers 42 acres of stunning, nearly untouched land in Barrington Rhode Island.
The nature trails are located along the West Shore of Barrington River's Hundred Acre Cove, we can't help but wonder if the name has some relation to Winnie The Pooh's Hundred Acre Woods. They are certainly charming enough to be!
Not only is the land gorgeous, but it is important!
Named one of the 50 most important coastal marshes between Long Island and Cape Cod, you can ramble through the nature trails knowing that they will be protected for years to come.
With multiple color coded trails, there are many different ways to explore the Osamequin Nature Trails, each with views of water and various types of wildlife habitat.
The trails are protected for the health and safety of the wildlife that live there as well as the land itself.
So if you're lucky you may be able to catch sight of some rare birds and animals like the diamondback terrapin turtle!
Since you can easily spend a day exploring all of these trails, you might be lucky enough to catch a stunning sunset sky over the marsh!
Is there a more perfect way to end a day of exploring than with a sight like this?
The Osamequin Nature trails are such a fun way to spend a day out in nature. Do you think you'll be making a trip there soon?
