The wildlife refuge borders private agricultural land. Be aware of the boundaries of the wildlife refuge and be sure to adhere to the signage.

The sanctuary provides habitat for a wide variety of bird species such as clapper rail, seaside sparrow, and marsh wren.

The Doug Rayner Wildlife Refuge is located on Nockum Hill in Barrington on a peninsula extending into the Barrington River and Hundred Acre Cove estuary. Owned by the Town of Barrington, the Refuge’s public hiking trails traverse more than 70 acres of field, forest and shoreline.

Doug Rayner Wildlife Refuge is a public access property, open to the public from dawn to dusk, 365 days a year. The terrain is mostly gentle but may be wet, snowy or icy in places, with moderate inclines. Dogs are not allowed. You may bicycle to the trail, but bikes are not allowed on the hiking trails. There is parking on a grassy area near the entrance.

The AllTrails website has a description and map of a trail at Doug Raynor Sanctuary.
