In Rhode Island the primary hunting seasons typically run from the second Saturday in September to the last day of February and from the third Saturday in April to the last day in May, however this can vary from year to year and depends on what game is being hunted. During hunting season you should wear at least 200 square inches (a hat OR a vest) of blaze orange. During shotgun deer season, which is typically in December, you should wear at least 500 square inches of blaze orange (a hat AND a vest). For more information see the RI DEM website.
The Green Dot and Orange Dot trails follow old farmers cart paths and the White Dot trail weaves through a rocky forested slope. The trails cross Whipple Brook, a tributary to the Woonasquatucket River. The 31-acre site is a mature forest of hardwood trees with a wetland in the center. The property was donated by the Gallo family and Annese Construction, and named after the granddaughter of Joseph Gallo.

This hike has fun rocks along the trail, great for a rambunctious 3 year old who enjoys climbing. The brook is also a fun place to hang out and has picturesque bridges that cross over it.
