We will ascend to the summit of mighty Mount Ripley (elev. 341 feet), the highest point on the property. The total distance will be about 3.4 miles, so it will likely take us about 3 hours total. Some of these trails have rather wet areas, so wear appropriate footwear.

Although they’ll be disappointed, please leave dogs at home. Well behaved dogs are allowed on the property at other times, but not for the public hikes.

SATWaSR consists of 1435.6 acres in the southeast corner of Barrington and is town owned property with extensive wetlands and trails throughout. SATWaSR has the distinction of holding the headwaters of the Oyster and Bellamy Rivers and has all kinds of wildlife existing on it in addition to being home to the Atlantic White Cedar Swamps, rare in this area. Several surrounding communities obtain a portion of their drinking water from the rivers originating on this land.
