From the roadside trailhead, the entrance trail passes through a scrub forest and a stone wall and then continues into acres of a native grass meadow with views of the Narrow River. On the south side of the meadow, the trail enters a wooded area with a small impounded pond that probably was a watering hole for cattle. The property is named for the fortified house destroyed during King Phillips War by the Narragansett Indians in December 1675.

This beautiful 26-acre coastal property is nestled along the Narrow River in South Kingstown. The one-mile walk follows a loop trail through deciduous woodlands, freshwater marshes, open fields and along salt marsh fringing the Narrow River. This property is of particular ecological interest because of its variety of habitats and because it abuts other conserved lands including the 554-acre John H. Chafee National Wildlife Refuge at Pettaquamscutt Cove (managed by US Fish & Wildlife) and land conserved by the Audubon Society of Rhode Island. Together these conservation properties form a contiguous band of wildlife habitat along Pettaquamscutt Cove and the lower Narrow River.

Driving Landmarks:  At the western landing of the Middle Bridge crossing the Narrow River.
