THE SECRET DOG POND



GETTING THERE. USE THIS MAP TO DRIVE TO THE PARKING SPOT

There is a fantastic dog pond located very close to East Greenwich. It is just over the line in West Greenwich and can give you a beautiful change of scenery for you and your dog. 

It is located in the famous "Sand Dunes" of Rhode Island. This is a gem of a place to explore. There are driving directions in the picture above, but I will list them below as well. 

From East Greenwich (Middle Road) 
1. Drive west on Middle Road all the way to Carr's Pond Road.            (You will drive to a "T") 

2. Turn right onto Carrs Pond Road. 
     (Again, drive until you get to a "T") 

3. Turn left onto Division Road. 
    Drive until you get to a 4 Way Stop. Drive straight. 

4. You will almost immediately see parking on your left. From your parking spot, you will walk straight out and turn right and curve around to the Secret Dog Pond. (See the picture below) 



The Secret Dog Pond is a wonderful area to explore with your dog. The only caveat is to wear orange during hunting season. Is is out in the open and near the road so I feel that even during hunting season, it will be a safe place for you and your dog.  To find out more about Rhode Island and its natural resources click on the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management link below. 

Be forewarned though, that it may be hard to navigate. There are many links on the site. 

Enjoy exploring the Secret Dog Pond located in the geologically exciting Sand Dunes!
