Tillinghast Pond Management Area in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, is a serene and beautiful destination that offers hiking, paddling, fishing, and hunting opportunities. Surrounded by protected forest, the clear and shallow waters of Tillinghast Pond are perfect for a family paddle or a peaceful float. This area is a vital part of Southern New England's largest forest and was permanently conserved in 2006, thanks to the support of the local community and various organizations.
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has played a significant role in the conservation and management of Tillinghast Pond. They have established a 13-mile trail system in partnership with the National Park Service, providing visitors with a sense of remoteness rarely found in southern New England. TNC has also acquired additional forested acres and implemented a Forest Stewardship Plan to enhance habitat diversity and benefit local wildlife. Volunteers are welcome to join the Friends of the Preserves group to assist with stewardship projects and maintenance of the trails.
