Queer Hikes: Turner Reservoir
2023-07-30 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | Turner Reservoir, 400 Pleasant St, Rumford, RI 02916, Rumford, RI, United States
Adventure Tadhg is going to be honest here: as a kid driving from Connecticut, over the Thames and thru Rhode Island to Nana’s house in Swansea–he didn’t think much of Seekonk outside of its strip malls and extensive shopping scene on Route 6. It wasn’t until he moved to Swansea himself that he began to discover and really appreciate the beauty of the Southcoast–Seekonk included! Turner Reservoir was always a fan-favorite of the first OutHound, Moses and OHAC is excited to join our Queer Hikes friends at a beautiful reserve right in our own backyard! Parking will actually be at a lot in Rumford, RI–and OHAC wouldn’t begrudge anyone who wants to seek out Seven Stars bakery pre or post hike!
Terrain: Some boardwalks, grassy paths, wooded terrain, as well as a short walk roadside.
You need: Proper footwear. Water and a snack.
Your Dog needs: Properly fitting harness, water, poop bags, and snacks.

This session:
Little River Reserve

One of our cornerstones of OutHounds Adventure and Training Academy’s mission is to be good stewards of the environment. As such, we have begun to collaborate with our local land trusts, and we are beyond excited to begin collaborating with the Dartmouth Natural Resource Trust. If you follow us on social media, you know that we are frequent flyers on DNRT trails, and we hope you will be too! Come join us twice this month on a beautiful DNRT property. What better way to kick off this collaboration by paying a visit to OHAC inaugural adventure (almost 5 years ago!): Little River Reserve! While the epic suspension bridge has been removed since then, Little River is still an OHAC favorite. Varied terrain, challenging footing and beautiful marsh views certainly makes this quite the Adventure! Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our Standard Adventure!
*While our Standard Adventures are always free, we encourage you to SUPPORT our land trusts by considering making a donation here: https://dnrt.org/donate/

**Adventures are typically held rain or shine. Please check Facebook, Instagram and emails for severe weather cancellations.**

This session:
The Bogs

The Bogs has been a long time favorite destination for the Adventure Club, and it is even more exciting now that OHAC has renewed our collaboration with the Buzzards Bay Coalition! The predominantly flat and open trails are great for the beginning hiker, yet the beauty can be appreciated by all! Adventure Guide Tim does like to lead the group into the forest trail, which does boast a mild incline and some tricky footing, depending on the flood stage of the subsequent swamp. Although, even if we have to double back or risk the dryness of our socks, we always have a great time out here. (Check out our pictures from the spring!) This a great trail for just getting yourself (and your dog!) OUT and reconnecting with nature. Expect about 3-4 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!

*While our Standard Adventures are always free, we encourage you to donate here: https://www.savebuzzardsbay.org/take-action/donate…
