From there we may do a little car juggling to get down to our trail head, P5–OR just head out from that point and do one of our favorite OHAC loops!

West Island State Reservation
We are happy to have one of our monthly hikes sponsored by the Rescue Cafe in Fairhaven, MA. As such, we wanted to bring a Fairhaven flare this month with a trip to West Island. Locals will certainly now West Island for its beautiful beaches and summer vibe, but not many may have explored the wooded trails that make up nearly half of the island itself. Join us for a pre-summer excursion and we can visit the Cafe for some treats following the hike!
Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure.
**Adventures are typically held rain or shine.
Terrain: Mostly flat, although some steeper inclines heading towards the Glen. Footing can be very slick on the extensive boardwalks, however!
You need: Proper footwear. Water and a snack.

This session:
DNRT Ridge Hill

Ridge Hill will live in OHAC lore for all time as our second ever hike brought quite the adventure! One of the neighborhood cattle made one of their all to frequent trips out of his paddock and down to the Ridge Hill parking lot just as we were shoving off! As we said then, sometimes you seek adventure and sometimes adventure finds you!
Ridge Hill also happens to be one of Adventure Tadhg’s favorite DNRT trails, but don’t advertise that too much or else everyone will start going there! Let’s save this gem for the Adventure Club! Path’s here are well cared for by volunteers and offer a little challenge for everyone. There are some steeper inclines and some rocks and roots that make for some tricky footing (especially closer to the reservoir). Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!
**Adventures are held rain or shine.**
Terrain: Some rocky, hilly terrain. Parts are rooted and slick.
You need: Proper footwear. Water and a snack.
Your Dog needs: Properly fitting harness, water, poop bags, and snacks.
Parking: Small Dirt Lot. Street-side overflow.

Queer Hikes Adventure: Sakonnet Greenway (North)
2023-05-28 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | Sakonnet Greenway Trail
This session:
Sakonnet Greenway, Middletown/Portsmouth RI
Here at OHAC, we value our mental health as much as our physical, and so it is fitting that Adventure Tadhg discovered this gem when he would drive home from his own visits to therapy! (No shame, no stigma!)
Starting at the Polo Grounds, the Greenway stretches over 10 miles of trails all the way to Newport Vineyards; passing thru wetlands and skirting the perimeter of Newport’s beautiful golf course. If heading in the opposite direction, you can get to “The Glen” with stunning water views and really cool wooded terrain. What an amazing use of public access!
Expect about 4-5 miles of hiking on our standard adventure!
**Adventures are typically held rain or shine.
Terrain: Mostly flat, although some steeper inclines heading towards the Glen. Footing can be very slick on the extensive boardwalks, however!
You need: Proper footwear. Water and a snack.
Your Dog needs: Properly fitting harness, water, poop bags, and snacks.
Parking: Dirt Lot across from the Polo Grounds
