We enjoyed our brief visit to this park while vacationing in Newport. There is a wonderful paved path that follows the shoreline and can be combined with other trails through the woods. Though it was midweek, there many people of all ages enjoying picnics, sunbathing and other activities though parking was not a problem. I would likely be walking my dog here everyday if we lived nearby.See more..
Love, love, love this park! So beautiful! The view, the waves rolling in, so peaceful. We visited on the 20th of July, a very hot day but we went later in the afternoon when it was comfortable and relaxing. It is a must stop any time of the year! See more..
You can horseback ride, rent a boat or kayak, fish, swim, exercise, or simply relax and enjoy the views. This place is huge!!! It's got picnic sites, camp sites, rocks you climb with views and surrounded by a lot of water and trees. Very relaxing and an exciting place to visit. See more..
4.0Fort Wetherill State Park(93 reviews) - Beautiful area if you look past the graffiti Spent < 1 hour State Parks
This is a great spot by the water. There 4 separate places to access the beaches and rocks. The rocks are fun to climb just be careful. There are fun little trails that my kids liked taking. Great little beaches and even areas to cliff jump if you’re up to it. Ample parking. Bathrooms and or porto potties around the parking areas. Great place to picnic. The ruins and graffiti are a downer but the scenery makes up for it in my opinion. (You can’t park in there during Covid 19 shut down)See more..
4.5Rocky Point State Park(87 reviews) - Great place to take a walk along Narragansett Bay! State Parks
Rocky Point Park is wonderful to walk,, jog, walk dogs and people watch. You can also fish from a brand new pier and also there is a beach for swimming. Ample parking (two lots) and they have about 8 handicap parking spots right on the water!See more..
3.5Snake Den State Park(10 reviews) - Rocky , peaceful trails Spent 1-2 hours State Parks
It seems like this would be a great place for mountain biking. It's super rocky, so wear good walking shoes. I was disappointed that there was so much trash at the entrance. Be aware that there are only a few parking spots as this is a bit of a hidden gem. See more..
4.5Pulaski State Park and Recreational Area(6 reviews) - Lovely spot any time of the year. Spent More than 3 hours State Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas We moved to CT so we would be closer to Pulaski. It is a favorite cross country skiing destination of ours. The trails are especially beautiful just after a snow fall. It's also a wonderful place for hiking and swimming in the summer. Perfect for a picnic and just sitting by the pond all times of the year. Peaceful and serene.See more..
I wanted to check out places that i could take a nice stroll at. The views are gorgeous and there are plenty of paved sidewalks along the river. There are many benches also so I could sit and read. Parking is free at side of the roads.See more..
2.0Haines Memorial State Park(1 review) - cook out State Parks this is a nice area in Barrington. It has boat docks and picnic areas. It also hosts farmers markets on Wednesdays in Summer. Unfortantely it has been neglected. The stone fireplaces are falling apart. There are dead trees and branches that need to be taken care of. Trash left in park, leaves and branches have not been picked up in quite a while. This is a beautiful area and its a shame what has been allowed to happenSee more..
A really outstanding park. It comprises the south end of the island and is quite easy to find. There is ample room to spread out and enjoy oneself on the cliffs, or to venture down to the water on the rocks and find a private little beach of your own. The shores are very much like you would find in Maine, specifically at Pemmaquid Point. The lighthouse adds to the pleasant features of the island. The exterior of the house can visited anytime the park is open, and there are additional times and dates that the museum is open and the tower able to be climbed. Entry seemed to be free as well. Be sure to check it out for sunrise, sunset, or anytime in between!See more..
