The Tiverton Open Space Commission manages Weetamoo Woods; a 500 or so acre track of predominantly coastal hardwood forest. The area consists of several types of oak, beech, maple, ash and others which surround an Atlantic white cedar swamp.

There are several well maintained trail loops which bring you through different areas of the woods. Depending on which one you take, you can see the remains of early American settlements including fieldstone walls, old cellar holes, an arched stone bridge, and a sawmill.

Dogs are allowed in the woods either on leash or under positive control (if your dogs are good they can run free!)

Trail maps are frequently found at trail head or available at the Tiverton town hall
