Are there trails, how long or hard?
Yes, more than four miles of loop trails rated easy to moderate; parts of the hillside sections get narrow and rocky, but a central dirt road offers an easier way back.
Where do I park, is it obvious?
From I-195 exit 22, head north on Faunce Corner Road to Old Fall River Road, go west about 2 miles to Collins Corner Road, then north under a mile; the reserve sign and lot are on the left.
Can I bring my dog to Ridge Hill Reserve?
