Arcadia / South County
0–812 ft · RI🚗 Directions
Arcadia Management Area (RI's largest public forest) and surrounding south county woodlands. Oak-hickory and mixed deciduous forest on glacial moraine terrain. Small state but productive — old stone walls and farmstead ruins mark morel habitat. Chanterelles under oak canopy Jul-Aug. Coastal proximity moderates temperatures. Short but reliable morel window late April through May. Oyster mushrooms on fallen hardwoods year-round.
