    Copicut Woods - Another very wide carriage road

    Copicut Woods

    (1 review)

    A deep dark…read morewoods The name Copicut does indeed mean a deep, dark woods in the Wamponoag language. It's really not all that dark and deep and in fact it's a rather lovely and open hike through 516 acres of ancient forest, cedar swamps and great old stone walls. Since there are lots of streams and little ponds in the area there is plenty of wildlife. Frogs, turtles, salamanders, coyotes, deer, chipmunks and a wide variety of birds can be seen here during different times of the year. The whole area use to be a farming village in the 19th century but that is long gone. There are lots of very cool foundations and old rusty metal things as well as a huge carriage road through the woods that is lined with stone walls and has a cover of trees. A very beautiful and stunning place, especially in the snows of winter. But of course like most old ghost towns in New England, Copicut Woods has a lot of spooky tales about it. Strange noises, ghostly apparitions and unusual and ethereal mists that suddenly appear. Of course we didn't see anything strange, just a very lovely woods and some great historical artifacts of a time long gone. A really lovely place for a hike anytime of the year but it does get very, very buggy in the spring. There are maps at the trail head but they are less than accurate and getting lost is pretty easy. It doesn't really matter, the trails and old carriage roads eventually lead somewhere and sometimes not knowing where exactly the journey will end is the most fun of all

    Pardon Gray Preserve - Old mill

    Pardon Gray Preserve

    A very cool very old place…read more with two names. Pardon Gray Preserve is frequently called Weetamoo Woods but they are actually two different places that just happen to be right next to each other. Weetamoo Woods is owned by town of Tiverton and Pardon Gray is owned by the Tiverton Land Trust and together they make up almost 700 acres and since you can go from one to the other without even knowing it doesn't matter what you call the area. The name Weetamoo is from a female sachem that was the leader of the Pocasset tribe and probably married to King Philip's brother. Way back in 1675 King Philip's War devastated the area and many streets and parks are named after him or his original name Metacomet. Pardon Gray was in the Revolutionary War and is buried in a clump of trees in a small family plot. The entire area is dripping with history and the paths and trails are ancient and probably have been used for centuries. The hiking isn't particular difficult but has some nice climbs and varied terrain. One steep climb to a rocky summit even gives a distant view of the ocean. Tons of massive stone walls and huge boulders are everywhere and lots of old foundations and cellar holes reflect the history of the area. It does get swampy and buggy in the spring because of all the water but that also attracts lots of cool wildlife. One particularly nice thing about these woods is the silence. In the winter few people walk these trails and once deep inside you are far enough away from the few roads that you can no longer hear any traffic. No planes seem to fly over the area so you hear absolutely nothing but running water or rustling of the trees. A great place to get away from modern civilization and experience history, quiet and nature.

    Definitely a top favorite walk in the state! Even in the winter when the trees are bare, there is…read moreso much beauty in the delicate fallen birch leaves underfoot, quiet trickle of streams, and resilient, diverse mosses and lichens. I hadn't been here in a few years and was so psyched to see maps available, pointing out the special points of natural and historical interest. The addition of the colored metal arrow blazes are a major improvement for helping walkers navigate their way around the network of trails. The scramble up massive glacier rocks to the outlook behind the old mill ruins and arch bridge is not to be missed. People love to bring their dogs here! A little RI paradise for dogs... and people. Just beyond Tiverton's 4 Corners so delicious options for picnics or post-hike ice cream.

When we arrived, we initially had some issues with people who were not disabled parking in disabled parking, however after contacting the local enforcement agencies, that was very promptly taken care of which we appreciated. The area itself is extremely well maintained with beautiful and informative plaques about the local flora and fauna as well as educational opportunities especially for those with children. I felt like this was the most family-friendly and accessible outdoor trail that I've been to in a while and we had an extremely positive time walking around this area. Parking is a bit tight, however it seems that there is a secondary parking area in an another area of the management trail, however I don't know how to get to it. If you're able to park down the street or wait for parking spot at the main entrance, that is the most ideal way to access this beautiful outdoor space. We will definitely be returning once the pandemic restrictions are lifted.

The hike is educational as well as there are small boards along the way that tell you about the different trees and ferns. Nice place for bird spotting as well. Dogs are allowed on leash.
