Use a turnaround to get on Route 114 north and the lot is on the right. Parking: Available. Difficulty: Easy BARRINGTON Ospreys, egrets and deep, dark holes dug by fiddler crabs in the mud flats are among the sights you can see from the trails along the west shore of the Barrington River’s Hundred Acre Cove in the Osamequin Nature Preserve. Osamequin, or Massasoit Ousamequin, was chief in the 1600s of the Pokanoket tribe of the Wampanoag Nation, who lived on the land called Sowams that stretched from Providence to Bristol.

Walking Rhode Island: Simmons Mill s lush legacy in Little Compton

LITTLE COMPTON Benjamin Simmons dammed Cold Brook in the mid-1700s to create a pond and raceways to harness the waterpower to run his gristmill. The mill is long gone, but the pond became the center of a natural sanctuary for birds and wildlife. In the 1960s, Bill Chace and his family built five more ponds connected with a network of trails.The Chace family sold the land in 1995 to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management, which maintains the family-friendly public preserve. Today, the 433-acre refuge, named the Simmons Mill Pond Management Area, is unique because of the wide, easy-to-walk trails and dozens of hand-lettered signs identifying trees, wildlife, rock formations and the land s rich history.
