Ninigret Refuge consists of 400 acres of diverse upland and wetland habitats including grasslands, shrublands, wooded swamps and freshwater ponds. The refuge, located on a former naval air station, provides visitors with over 9 miles of trails on a mix of paved and unpaved materials. An observation platform overlooking Ninigret Pond (the largest coastal pond in Rhode Island), and numerous trails offer visitors an opportunity to see some of the more than 250 bird species recorded at the refuge. Refuge shores also support a large diversity of marine life such as blue crab, bay scallop, and winter flounder.
