Third Thursday Hike: Yawgoo Pond

Posted by SKLandTrust

Join us for our 3rd Thursday Hike! Our July hike features the 1.26 mile Yawgoo Pond Trail, which takes the hiker by a kettle hole bog, over Mud Brook, and through a grove of stately white pine trees. Yawgoo Trail is also noted for its thick under-story of mountain laurel, especially near the steep banks of the kettle hole, and spectacular views of pristine Yawgoo Pond.

The first acquisition in this area by SKLT, a 12.04 acre parcel at the south end of Yawgoo Pond, was through private donations in February 2001. The second acquisition, in October of 2005, preserved 68.3 acres on the east side of the pond. This project received support from the DEM Forest Legacy and Open Space Bond Fund, The Nature Conservancy, The Champlin Foundations, The Bafflin Foundation, and private donations from neighbors.

This event participates in the RI Great Outdoors Pursuit! This summer-long program helps reconnect children and their families with the great outdoors and to encourage physical activity in Rhode Island’s state parks and natural areas.
