Norman Bird Sanctuary
Norman Bird Sanctuary Review
Stroll through the woods or hike to the top of Hanging Rock for a spectacular view at this 325-acre sanctuary for more than 300 species of birds, plus deer, fox, mink, turtles, and rabbits. The sanctuary has about 7 mi of trails, ranging from ¼ to 1¼ mi long. The visitor center in a 19th-century barn highlights Rhode Island's natural history with a variety of wildlife and ecosystem exhibits spanning from the time of Native Americans before white settlers arrived to the present.
