The forests in this 145-acre preserve are enchanting, blanketed with moss, lichen, and sedges in different shades of green. I walked a preserve once that was described as a “moss garden.” While that one didn’t live up to this promise, this one does!
I recommend walking along the rocky beach as much as you can. The total trail network is about 3.5 miles, with over 1 mile along the shoreline.
Directions: (From the land trust:) Trailhead and parking is in the back of the Union Church parking lot. From Route 1, turn onto Route 187/Indian River Road. In two miles, turn right on Wescogus Road. Continue about 1.5 miles and turn left on East Side Road. Go about 6 miles and turn right onto Mooseneck Road. Continue to the Union Church, on your left in about 1 mile. Look for the Ingersoll Point Preserve sign.
