Scituate
Trott-Perry Land Preserve
Date visited: 7/24/2022
The Trott-Perry Land Preserve, located in the "Hope" section of Scituate, is named after two doctor's that donated the land. It's also known as the "Hope Associates Inc, Nature Trail". It's a short loop trail, which reaches the Pawtuxet River on the far end of the loop. It was the hottest day of the year, so we didn't arrive until nearly 7pm so it would be a bit cooler. This is one of the few spots in Scituate I was able to find, as most of the wooded land is owned by the water company and not open to the public.

The Weather Channel App forecasted "partly cloudy" skies for the time we were here, which is why I decided to hike this trail. Unfortunately, they were incorrect. The trail itself is a short, unremarkable loop through the woods. While Rhode Island in general seems pretty dog-friendly, the town of Scituate is not. We've stopped at a couple of places that we couldn't visit because dogs weren't allowed. They have an outdoor art fair every year, and dogs aren't even allowed at that. Coupled with the lack of open woodlands because the water company owns most of the land, it's very hard to find anything to do with the dogs in this town. So the fact that leashed dogs are welcomed here, is a good thing, even if it is a very ordinary trail.
