Trail Maps

The well marked 2.5 mile Browning Trail crosses three parcels and begins at about 100 feet above sea level, passing over a swamp and intermittent stream, before ascending to almost 200 feet through wooded uplands.

Crawley Preserve hosts three well marked and well maintained trails on 99 acres straddling two towns: Richmond and South Kingstown. Most of the property (84.2 acres) falls in Richmond. Acquired in 2003 as a joint project with the Richmond Rural Land Conservation Trust and the South Kingstown Land Trust, and funded by the Town of South Kingstown and the Nature Conservancy, this is a showcase property. The trails pass though upland forest of beech, oak and the occasional white pine.

The 3.1 mile DuVal Trail crosses numerous parcels protected by SKLT and RIDEM. This trail features the hill and kettle topography of a terminal moraine left by the retreating glaciers of the last ice age. Visitors enjoy a sweeping view of the ocean and Block Island to the south from a scenic overlook. Polly's Rock Loop passes through dramatic hills and vales to the west of the original entry trail.

A hiking 0.8 mile trail that allows access to Thewlis Woods features stands of eastern white pine, scarlet oak and beech. Turkey, coyote, fisher cat and many other animals find food and shelter on this property

Located on a glacial outwash plain, this easy to walk 1.2 mile trail features pastoral views of stone walls and fields actively cultivated for hay and corn. Visitors also may enjoy views of fields managed for wildlife habitat and a large grove of larch trees.

The 1.26 mile Yawgoo Pond Trail takes the hiker by a kettle hole bog, over Mud Brook, and through a grove of stately white pine trees. Yawgoo Trail is also noted for its thick under-story of mountain laurel, especially near the steep banks of the kettle hole, and spectacular views of pristine Yawgoo Pond.
