The 1.0-mile Alewife Brook Trail traverses a fine example of a typical southern Rhode Island forest. Approximately 79 percent of this property hosts an upland forest canopy of scarlet, black, and white oak, red maple, white and pitch pine, hickory, beech, and gray birch. The remaining 21 percent to the south along Alewife Brook is gently sloping wetlands with dense thickets of mountain laurel, rhododendron, sweet pepperbush, red maple, and alder. Both upland and wetland habitats can be observed from the trails here. This 43-acre property was acquired in July 2019 from the Rhode Island Boy Scouts with open space bond funds from RIDEM, the Town of South Kingstown, and with grants from the Bafflin Foundation, the Nature Conservancy, and the Champlin Foundation.

Alewife Brook Preserve Trailhead: From the junction of Ministerial Road (Route 110) and Wordens Pond Road go west on Wordens Pond Road for 1/4 mile and look for the parking area on the left.

Note that contrary to the usual conventions, north is down on the trail map for Alewife Brook.

The AllTrails website has a description and a map of a trail at Alewife Brook Preserve.
