East Greenwich
Frenchtown Park & Fry Family Nature Preserve
Date visited: 8/2/2022
This park features a pond that Mandy wasted no time going in it to cool off. After that, she was ready for the 3.5 mile hike on some very nice trails. There are two separate hikes that we tackled. The first, was the "Cotton Mill Trail" and was a fun rocky loop that went through the nature preserve property. The other trail was the park trail, which was wide and easy. It's one of those "story-book" trails for kids, where there are pages of a children's book on signs located along the trail.
Scalloptown Park
Date visited: 7/21/2022
This was a super muggy day. It was so muggy, that I had problems with my camera. It's not uncommon for the lens to get fogged up, but the inside of the lens was fogged up, so I couldn't even clean it. That is why some of the pictures below were taken on my iPhone. Even though it was muggy, it was much cooler here than the Hartford area. It was only about 81 degrees and breezy. Unfortunately, this wasn't the best park. There isn't much access to the river. There's a paved walking trail, as well as a wide dirt road, and that's about it.
Fry Brook Recreation Park
Date visited: 6/25/2023
This is a 1.5 mile stone dust surfaced, easy loop trail through the woods and a meadow. The meadow areas this time of year feature many wild flowers. About a half mile in, there is an area with outdoor exercise equipment. It's a popular area for dog walkers.
