3rd Annual Rome Point Seal Watch

When:

Saturday, Feb 21, 2009
10:00 am

Details:

Outings leader Mike Condor once again hosts a RI Sierra Club favorite. Come see the Harbor Seals as they winter down in Narragansett Bay. This is one of the best places and times to spot the seals! The walk out and back is about 2.5 miles over easy terrain, which can be wet or icy depending upon the weather. Sturdy walking shoes are a must. Hat, gloves, and refreshments are recommended. Bring your binoculars or spotting scope for optimal viewing, though you can see the seals without either.

Directions:

NEAR: Wickford

From the north, take RI 1A through Wickford into the village of Hamilton. The entrance lane is 1.7 miles from a traffic light at Fairway Drive. From the south, the lane is just over 0.5 mile from RI 138. The gated lane runs to the east. There is a new parking area at the entrance to the gated lane.
