Weather and SeasonsFrom the fresh blooms of spring through the golden days of autumn, LeGrand Reynolds comes alive with the thunder of hooves and the camaraderie of riders. While the campground embraces its primitive nature year-round, the warmer months from spring through fall offer the most comfortable camping experience, complete with seasonal porta-potty facilities.

Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in the untamed beauty of Rhode Island's largest recreational area, where dense forests create a natural cathedral of towering trees and dappled sunlight. The Arcadia Management Area unfolds like a living tapestry of oak, maple, and pine, crisscrossed by babbling brooks and dotted with hidden meadows.

Wildlife abounds in these protected woodlands, where deer bound through the underbrush and songbirds provide a natural soundtrack to your rides.

Geological RegionNestled within the 14,000-acre Arcadia Management Area in Exeter, Rhode Island, this equestrian paradise showcases the diverse beauty of southern New England's geological tapestry. Ancient glacial activity carved out the gentle hills and valleys that now form perfect riding terrain, while centuries of forest growth have created a rich ecosystem where granite outcroppings peek through verdant woodland floors. The area's well-maintained trail system takes advantage of this varied topography, offering riders everything from level paths along old logging roads to more adventurous routes that wind through boulder fields and across crystal-clear streams.
