For something different, this 4-5 mile walk will be a point-to-point (one way) walk, visiting a few highlights in both the Grills Wildlife Sanctuary in Hopkinton and the Grills Preserve in Westerly. Most of the trail will be on flat single-track, but there are some hilly sections. Hopefully not an issue, but please note this walk only works if you’re willing to have someone ride in your car in one direction, and ride in someone else’s in the opposite direction. Meet and park in the Grills Preserve dirt parking lot at 198 Bowling Lane, Westerly. From there, we will leave roughly half the cars behind and caravan to the Grills Wildlife Sanctuary trailhead, where we will start our walk.
Please contact the hike leader to let them know you will be joining.
