Temporary Trail Closures

The Ocean View Trail and portions of the Flint Point Trail at Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge will be closed to the public for one to three days beginning from July 13 through August 1, as workers manage nonnative, invasive plants. The trail closures will ensure public safety while the habitat work is in progress. Please respect all trail closures. 

Visitors may call the refuge office at (401) 619-2680 to confirm the temporary closure dates.

Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge provides an important stopover and wintering area for migratory birds.
Weather Advisory

Potential Road Closures: High wave action and heavy storms often impact the road to Sachuest, and may lead to road closures. Check for road closure updates on https://middletownri.com/

Dangerous Surf: Please exercise caution when navigating the shoreline during periods of high wave action. Avoid wet rocks, as they are slippery and could be fatal.
