Weetamoo Woods

Weetamoo Woods Review

Combined with Pardon Gray Preserve there are more than than 10 mi of walking trails in this 850-acre nature preserve that's home to a coastal oak-holly forest, Atlantic white cedar swamp, two grassland meadows, early American cellar holes, and the remains of a mid-19th-century village sawmill. The main entrance to Weetamoo Woods is on East Road (Rte. 179), a quarter-mile east of Tiverton Four Corners, and has a parking area and kiosk with maps. An entrance to Pardon Gray Preserve is off Main Road (Rte. 77). Weetamoo Woods takes its name from the last sachem of the Pocasset Tribe of Wampanoag Indians. She supported Metacom (King Philip) in the King Philip's War and died in that conflict.
