Flint Point Loop Trail is a 1.1 mile loop, mild terrain through coastal shrublands. The loop and Island Rocks platform are universally accessible. Flint point can be reached via a 0.6 mile in-and-out trail on the northwest side of the loop. Ocean View Loop is 1.5 miles with medium terrain and fantastic views of the ocean and rocky shoreline. From Ocean Loop you can access Price Neck Overlook, which is a short in-and-out trail with steep, rugged terrain. At Price Neck Overlook (and on much of the eastern portion of Ocean Loop), step on ancient rocks which used to be part of the African Continent. The Sakonnet Overlook is an accessible platform located near the parking lot which gives visitors a beautiful view of the wildlife refuge and the Sakonnet River.
