Audubon Caratunk Wildlife Refuge — Attraction in Seekonk

Free and plenty of parking. Trails are impressively marked. The park and trails were immaculate with no trash noted. Surprisingly there was more shade than I had originally expected but I was still happy that I brought an umbrella for sun protection as there are some wide open add exposed parts to this trail.

Everything from the miniscule and humble to magnificent is on display here. Can't wait...

A great walk with the family. We were looking to get some exercise in the shade and this place was perfect. Although there are trails that take you through sunny fields, the majority had plenty of shade. There is so much to see! The perimeter trail is 1.8 miles but there are add on loops that will allow you to hike for as much or as little as you can handle. It is a quiet serene place to enjoy wildlife, so not for louder kids or adults. Use insect repellent and still check for ticks. I found 1 dog tick and 2 deer ticks. Even so, that will not keep me away. This place is...
