Newport County Highpoint Trip Report
Pocasset Hill
Date: September 5, 2005
Authors: John and Kathy Mitchler
From I-95, take exit 8 and proceed south 5 miles on RI 24 to RI 138. Exit off
RI 24 and go north on RI 138 for 1.1 miles to Pocasset Avenue. Turn right and
go a few blocks to its end. Park.
Walk 100 feet and look for a BM Poccaset 1963 in a large flat rock area.
A higher boulder jutting out a few feet away is likely the highpoint. There was
heavy construction in progress nearby around the reservoir, although it appeared
they were leaving the pond intact.
