Touisset Marsh is owned by Rhode Island Audubon Society. Keep your
eyes open in all directions as you hike here. The abundance of
wildlife and interesting plants small and large would thrill John
James Audubon himself. We wanted to do a wildlife theme, but if we
made a letterbox for every species we've seen here, this place would
look like a Tupperware party. So we chose two animals that we've seen
here more than once that made the biggest impression on us at the
times we saw them.

Driving directions: From the intersection of Routes 114 (Main Street)
and 103 (Child Street) in downtown Warren, take Route 103 east 1.9
miles to Long Lane. Take a right onto Long Lane. Go 0.8 mile to the
end and turn left onto Barton Av. Go 0.5 mile more to Touisset Road.
Go right on Touisset Road, following it around some curves 1.2 miles
to another big turn to the left. At this turn you'll see Touisset
Fire Company, Warren Fire Department Station 6. Turn right to go into
a parking lot next to the fire house.
