Sightseeing

1040 Matunuck Schoolhouse Road South Kingstown, RI 02879 The Trustom Pond Contact Station is open every day and during hours when there are volunteers available to staff the station. Generally, the hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM every day. Sometimes the volunteers will be out on the trails to assist visitors, and the contact station may be temporarily closed while they are away. The trails are always open during daylight hours, regardless of whether the contact station is open or not. All restrooms, visitor centers, and most of the viewing platforms and trails are wheelchair and stroller accessible. At Trustom Pond NWR, the platforms at Otter Point and Farm Pond are barrier-free, but the platform at Osprey Point has a short set of stairs. To assist in preparing for a pleasant experience while visiting, we share the following helpful health hints: - Dogs and other pets are not allowed on the refuge at any time of the year - Dress for the weather: Insect repellent is recommended. We do have deer ticks but you will rarely be exposed to their habitat on the trail. - Poison Ivy is common on the refuge. All parts of the plant can cause a rash during any season -Bring water and drink plenty of it while engaging in activities on the refuge - Be sure to use sun protection and to not over-exert yourself About Trustom Pond NWR Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge is one of five national wildlife refuges in Rhode Island. In 1974, Mrs. Ann Kenyon Morse donated the first 365 acres of the refuge. In 1982, the Audubon Society of Rhode Island donated 151 acres. Today, the refuge includes 787 acres of various wildlife habitats including fields, shrublands, woodlands, fresh and saltwater ponds and sandy beaches and dunes. Approximately 300 bird species, more than 40 mammal species, and 20 species of reptiles and amphibians call Trustom Pond refuge home during the year. Trustom Pond is the only undeveloped coastal salt pond in Rhode Island, making it even more valuable to wildlife. On the southern boundary is found a barrier beach which remains one of the few Rhode Island nesting sites for two species of concern, the least tern and piping plover.
