Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The John H. Chafee Nature Preserve is set on 250-acres of land known as Rome Point, which was donated to the state by Narragansett Electric in 2001 to prevent the pristine waterfront property from development. Named after statesman John H. Chafee who inspired the protection of Rome Point, the preserve features protected ecosystems ranging from cobblestone shoreline, coastal wetlands, and transitional riparian habitat to freshwater wetlands, vernal pools, and upland forest. Fauna and flora in the park include several species of plants listed as "species of concern" and visiting seals.
