The Nature preserve within the recreation area contains over four miles of hiking trails which offer a variety of opportunities for bird watching and other forms of nature appreciation.
Freshwater fishing is available at the upper and lower ponds.
This habitat, converted from former Navy land, consists of varied deciduous woodlands with access to a pebbled Narraganset Bay beach and several freshwater ponds. Interesting quarried rocks surround the large pond. A small waterfall carries water from the upper to the lower ponds. Red Fox, rabbits, and owls are typical residents. Turn left off ramp.
