Part of the trail also winds through hayfields that will make you feel like you're far out in the country.

Despite this beautiful area's wild feel, it's only 40 minutes from Providence - which makes it perfect for a quick afternoon escape.

Of course, if you're entranced by the natural beauty of this area like we are, you can stay to hike the three other trails within Tillinghast Pond Natural Area, which spans 2,000 acres and is managed by the Nature Conservancy.
