Spend the day cycling the island, sitting on the beach, hiking the trails, or looking for glass floats. Whether you’d like to explore the whole island or just have a beach day, there is something for your interest here. We will take a morning ferry from Pt. Judith and ride the 45 minutes over to Block Island. At that point, participants are welcome to partake in the activity that fulfills their hearts’ summer desires. The island is small enough to cycle around, and there are many hiking trails along the way. You do not need to bring a bicycle, but it is the best method to get around the island (you can rent a bike once you reach the island). If you decide to bring your own bike, you will need to purchase its own ferry ticket! Note that this is not an official cycling event, but only one of the many options of things to do while on the island.
While on the island be sure to keep your eyes open for any glass floats:

Registration Type: Registration
Please Click Here to RSVP:https://activities.outdoors.org/a5UUN000001T4Z7
Audience: 20’s & 30’sDescription: Join the Narragansett 20s and 30's on a hike at Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge in Middletown, Rhode Island. This 3-mile loop is a popular trail right by the ocean, so you can count on fantastic views. You will also likely be able to see some of the many plant and animal species that the wildlife refuge works hard to protect!
Participants can expect to move at a quick 2-3 mile pace for the duration of the hike. The trail itself is flat and gravel, but we'll take advantage of some places in the trail that let us head down to the beach, so be prepared for sand and rocks.
Participants should bring: At least 1 liter of water A light snack (optional) Insect repellent (even with the ocean breeze, bugs will find a way) Sunscreen (the foliage is what you'd expect by a beach, so there isn't much shade) An extra layer of clothing (the ocean breeze can lower the temperature quite a bit)
After the hike, we'll head out for an optional meal nearby.
Details about parking and the specific meetup location will be sent to registered participants the day before the hike.
We hope to see you there!
