Reviews
"Nature area near Middletown and nor far from Newport, bordering the ocean. There are nature walks and a look out point as well as an info centre. We saw some deer on one of the paths. The vegetation (small shrubs) is completely differend from the regular woods in this part of the Usa. Nice views of the ocean and bay. There are public toilets."
"This is a great walk any time of the year! No dogs or bikes allowed because of the wildlife! The deer are very close to people and are very trusting. Great place for exercise and photography!"
"First time visiting this place. There is a brand new observation deck with a ramp for easy access for wheelchairs or strollers. It was a nice spot to take photos and watch different types of birds."
"Simply beautiful. The trails are well groomed and you can go out on some points. The climb to the peak is well worth it and not difficult. There is plenty of wildlife. I would post photos but lost them when a card reader malfunctioned. The few I have are fromy phone. I will go back next summer."
"Beautiful area between Second and Third Beach. Always spot cool animals (really need to do some animal photography here, actually encountered a white coyote. Love the rocky shore, especially when it's covered in snow/ice (though it can be windy). Free parking. Have to check out the visitor center. Nice place for a walk/jog."
