2016 FALL GUIDE The Pachaug Trail, in The trail has a loop option While Wolf Hill, in Smith- field, and Long and Ell ponds, in Hopkinton, are the go-to spots for hardy hikers looking to break a sweat, other trails also raise the stakes beyond a leisurely stroll.

This 7.6-mile hike offers a chance to see plenty of wildlife, climb ravines, cross small streams and scramble over boulders, and provides overlooks for foliage peeping. A relaxing stretch follows the banks of Beach Pond, and hikers will pass by stone walls, foundations and one of Rhode Island’s oldest cemeteries. that makes it a bit longer, at 8.6 miles, but the trail markings can be confusing, Pachaug Trail The Rhode Island Hiking Parking can be found at the http://bit.ly/2bwHE8o Club hosts guided hikes that tackle some of the more chal- lenging trails in the state.
