Tripping on Travel: Peck Pond, Burrillville, Rhode Island

The same day I visited the dam at the south end of Peck Pond in Providence County, Rhode Island, I took my camera to a small section of Peck Pond's southeastern shoreline. The surrounding sounds of the environment there were pleasantly without the noise of nearby road traffic. One reason may be because Peck Pond is accessed from within the Casimir Pulaski Memorial Recreation Center, which is inside Rhode Island's 4,000 acre George Washington Management Area, and is nowhere near Rt 44. The sounds I captured on video were sometimes wind, and I moderated that in post-production by lowering the volume of those segments by a few decibels. One can hear running water from across the pond, where the northern part of Keach Brook is entering it. You may see this on the map I provide. Also, I capture a hawk flying overhead vocalizing it's presence. I can barely see it on my PC widescreen. I don't expect the smaller displays typical of smart phones are going to be of much help.

It was only two months prior in January that a Burrillville ice fisherman on Peck Pond caught a record-breaking rainbow trout. WPRI reported that the DEM's Division of Fish and Wildlife weighed the fish and confirmed that the 15 lb, 12 oz trout he caught set a new state record for the species. The majority of Peck Pond, according to the Fishermap website, is only 1 to 3 feet deep. While at the south end closer to the dam, and over the CT border, it gets as deep as 9 feet. The Town of Burrillville, Rhode Island is within Providence County but is actually much larger than it appears on many maps because it contains a variety of villages. For example, Pascoag is one such village. And on some websites, like AllTrails, Peck Pond and the trail looping around it, are said to be located in Pascoag. While other sites show Peck Pond as part of Burrillville (one map showed the town line as ending at the CT border), and the state park it's within as part of Glocester. An address to the Town of Burrillville, as posted on it's municipal website, goes to Harrisville, Rhode Island.
