Glocester Land Trust Pine Orchard Rd. Glocester RI 02814

A 250-acre site that served as a farm and agricultural center and has been allowed to revert back to its natural state. It contains a variety of mature evergreens and hardwoods and impressive striped maples and Atlantic white cedars. It also contains a number of flowers and plants, and several beautifully constructed stone bridges that have immense capstones. It contains many stone walls and old foundations, many of them massive and still around, giving a hint of what the area was like hundreds of years ago. Within Sprague Farm there are several miles of wide dirt/gravel roads used by area farmers for generations, and several miles of narrower foot paths created by the Glocester Land Trust. Most trails have a gentle slope and visit scenic ledge vistas, stands of Striped Maple, a glacial fen, an Atlantic White Cedar wetland, several fields, miles of stone walls, stone slab bridges over several streams, the Sprague family cemetery, and stone foundation walls for barns and farmhouses. Sprague Farm is open year round from sunrise to sunset. During the fall this area is open for deer and turkey hunting. During the winter months Sprague Farm is open for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. In warm weather Sprague Farm is a popular place for horseback riding, jogging, geocaching, dog walks, and casual walks.
