About this Location

The trails at Conanicut Island Sanctuary include a short loop trail and connector that features a few boardwalks. The trail can be a little muddy in spots and is a little rootbound, so do watch your footing. There are three observation areas that overlook Marsh Meadows, a large salt cove. The first is an area with a sitting bench, the other two are raised observation decks. Many birds here have been seen including egrets, herons, sandpipers, ospreys, and ibis. Needless to say, this spot is for birdwatchers and photographers. Across the salt marsh is a farm and it is not uncommon to hear the mooing of cows. The property also features stone walls and a grove of white birch. Parking is on Conanicus Ave just north of the golf course with parking for 2-3 cars.
