Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge is a lovely National Wildlife Refuge in Middletown, one of five national wildlife refuges located throughout the state. The refuge site was historically used as a farming and sheep grazing site and once served as a rifle range for the United States Navy during World War II. In 1970, 70 acres of the site was donated to the Audubon Society of Rhode Island for the development of a refuge facility. Today, the site showcases 242 preserved acres and serves as an important site for migratory birds throughout the winter months, including harlequin duck populations. Three miles of nature trails are offered for public use, along with a visitor center showcasing interpretive exhibits about the region's ecology.
