A walk with nature - Little Compton and the surrounding area has several nature conservancy walking and biking trails. The trails are clearly marked and are a lot of fun with children. There is freshwater fishing in the ponds and streams (Wilbur's Woods is great for trout) or you can try your luck with the Striper! The stripers run in the spring and the fall right in front of our house. People travel great lengths to catch the Striper as they make the biannual run North towards Cape Cod and then back again!
