This is a small, serene get-away, with part of the trail following the fairly open banks of the Little River. The park abuts the town’s wastewater treatment plant, so it is sometimes possible to smell the plant.
When I visited, the trails were not blazed or marked, but they were easy to follow. You can do a loop that’s a little under a mile. There are no signs marking the boundaries of the preserve, and an unofficial path seems to extend beyond the park’s boundaries along the river in both directions. Additionally, a local woman said she thought there might be a path on the other side of the river as well.
From the street, the trails heads downhill to the river, crossing the power lines. There is a map at the trailhead on Summer Street.
Directions: From Route 196, turn onto Summer Street. A kiosk will be on the right about 0.4 miles down. Park at the side of the road.
