Rhode Island might be the smallest state in the country but has huge scenery. Some of my favorite excursions include hiking with my kids. I started hiking during Covid times and I still enjoy it to this day. I like to get a good pair of hiking boots, with hiking boot insoles and start a couple of those listed below!
The Best Rhode Island Hikes:
- The Cliff Walk– Located in Newport, this is a 3.5 miles iconic seaside walking path that features awesome waves on one side and historic Gilded Age mansions on the other. When you are done with the walk, you can then visit the historic mansions such as The Elms or The Breakers.
During Covid times
- Long Pond- This one is in Hopkinton, RI and is a more challenging and rocky loop with cliff walks and gorgeous glacial terrain.
- Wolf Hill Forest Preserve- This hike can be 2 to 6 miles depending on where you climb. It features the World World 2 Memorial Loop, an old crash site, a beautiful waterfall, and gorgeous views of the Providence skyline.
- Sachuset Point National Wildlife Refuge- This is a 2.5 miles hike featuring easy, breezy coastal peninsula path packed with wildlife, deer, and ocean vistas.
- Beavertail State Park- This is located at the southern tip of Jamestown and offers magnificent rocky coastlines and spectacular ocean views. The trails are mostly easy walks, making it a perfect location for a scenic stroll or a coastal picnic.
Rhode Island is such a gorgeous state and I hope you can take advantage of some of the awesome hiking terrains offered here.
