One of the smaller Audubon sites in Rhode Island, Lathrop offers a sweeping view of Winnapaug Pond. The trail, which is a cart path, starts at a small parking area along Shore Road. The cart path is flanked by several trees, shrubs, bushes, before entering an area of marsh. Needless to say I saw several birds here. After following the path to its end, I retraced my steps back to the parking area.
I did not find a trail map on-line.
