Trails are open to hikers, mountain bikers, cross-country skiers and snowshoers. There is also a designated loop for off-highway motorcycles. The loop is not too challenging, but be on the lookout for large rocks!

This state forest also presents riders with a designated loop trail for off-highway motorcycles. Fly through the scenic forest and enjoy the moderately difficult, flat trail. 

Located in Voluntown, Connecticut, this 24,000-acre forest is the only public area to ride ATV and off-highway motorcycles in the state. Pachaug is just minutes away from the Rhode Island border.

While this location may be a ways out, it is well worth the trek! Located near the towns of Dunbarton and Weare in New Hampshire is the Hopkinton-Everett Trails Area. The trails span for 26 miles and are accessible to ATVs, UTVs (maximum width of 50 inches), and trail bikes. Mud season begins on May 23. Be sure to always check in before you head over there! The trails may close to the public at any time for flood control purposes.

*Note: Age restrictions, special licenses, and other requirements for off highway vehicles vary from state to state. Before heading out on your OHV, please consult your local regulations.

This 860-acre conservation area offers a gradual incline that provides a good challenge for kids. You might even spot a few rock formations along the way—you can read about their history, too, if you’re lucky enough to find the tallest one. Try taking the easy orange trail or the blue loop for a longer hike that takes your walk from two miles to 4.5.

Make sure to pack some sun block for this beautiful hike along the bluffs. This walk includes a stroll along the beach where you might stop and picnic or dig up shells, a staircase along the bluffs, and views of the charming Southeast Lighthouse. Leave plenty of time to catch your ferry back to the mainland at the end of the day, too!

Pack up your binoculars—it’s time to go birdwatching! There are trails galore within the Norman Bird Sanctuary, perfect for hikers of every skill level. The Shady Glade Trail offers a more leisurely walk great for young families. Children under three are free, but others must pay a small fee to hike these trails.

An ideal way to immerse yourself in the vibrant nature of this trail’s surrounding wetlands is from the safety of a boardwalk. Because the Dundery Brook Trail is a boardwalk, it makes it handicapped accessible, too! The incredible forested swamps and wetlands showcase Rhode Island’s natural beauty at its finest. Everyone can enjoy the Dundery Brook Trail. 

This Middletown wildlife refuge offers about three miles of beautiful nature trails. The area has a long and storied history, being utilized for farming from the mid-1600s to the early 1900s, and also used as a U.S. Navy site in World War II. The nature trails offer abundant opportunity for incredible wildlife viewing with kiosks and interpretive panels. Children will enjoy every moment of this, and learn something along the way.

The Genesee River and gorge create a beautiful backdrop for camping. In the fall, the bursts of bright orange, red, and yellow along the river gorge make the entire trip worthwhile. With river rafting and more than 66 miles of hiking trails, it’s no surprise this park has been voted the number one attraction in New York State.

There are approximately 25 miles of trails in the 134-acre Block Island National Wildlife Refuge, including Clayhead Trail, the Fresh Swamp Preserve, Rodman’s Hollow, and more. Established in 1973, the refuge began with the gift of 28 acres 11 miles off the mainland’s coast from the U.S. Coast Guard, so, as you can imagine, it is an important resting stop for migrating birds. In fact, thousands of birds reportedly congregate here every year in an extraordinary birding spectacle. From ruby-crowned kinglets to peregrine falcons, many varieties use this place as an important stopover, and it is not unusual to find loons, shorebirds, and gulls, as well as more exotic varieties, like the say’s phoebe, cave swallow, and the federally-threatened piping plover. 

The North end of #blockisland is a crowded #gull rookery with hundreds of nesting #herringgulls & #greatblackbackedgulls .

The centerpiece of this 787-acre refuge is Trustom Pond. This saltwater lagoon is separated from Block Island Sound. In addition, travelers will find forested land, fields, shrubland, and freshwater ponds. Miles of trails snake through the area and there are four viewing platforms set up to catch sight of a variety of bird species. At Trustom Pond, you’ll find birds like the willow flycatcher, warbling vireo, blue-winged warbler, black-and-white warbler, American redstart, yellow warbler, bobolink, and orchard oriole. 

With 242 acres of coastline peninsula near Newport Beach, Sachuest Point is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Sakonnet River, and Sachuest Bay. With its salt marshlands, craggy shorelines, and observation platorms, there is plenty of opportunity for some excellent birdwatching. If you’re lucky, you just might catch a glimpse of the elusive harlequin duck which is commonly found there from November to April.

This three-mile, moderately-trafficked loop features an elevation gain of only 32 feet, so it is basically flat and accessible year-round. The 1.5-mile spit-of-land was caused by a glacial process known as longshore drift, and it is now a coastal preserve that is known for revealing dramatic sunsets views over the Atlantic, copious birdwatching opportunities, and quiet walks along the beach. On a bright day, you can see the Watch Hill Lighthouse and the Montauk Lighthouse. The Watch Hill Conservancy manages the beach, which is a breeding ground of the federally-protected piping plover, along with other native wildlife, and other notable sites include the 100-year-old remains of historic Fort Mansfield, dunes, and a tidal lagoon.

Established in 1949 as a protected area “for the propagation, preservation, and protection of birds,” the Norman Bird Sanctuary offers woodland, marsh, pond, rocky bluffs, and fields for birding. Although a small fee is charged to walk seven miles of trails through 325 acres, you are all but guaranteed to see bird activity. After all, it is a known site for nesting wood ducks, green herons, great horned owls, willow flycatchers, black-and-white warblers, American redstart, and more. In fact, well over 200 species have been recorded, and you may even see migrant raptors in the fall. Offering camps, public education programs and events like, “Birds and Breakfast,” Norman is an excellent resource for birding.

Looping around Breakheart Pond in the Arcadia Management Area is this 5-mile trail.  Don’t be intimidated by the name—this trail won’t break your heart, but you may break a sweat! Trees will block the wind along the path, which traverses rocky areas and root-covered paths. Take on the uphill trails for a gorgeous view of the pond below.  

The best part of a hike in Fort Barton is climbing up past the Revolutionary War fortifications and up to the observation tower for a scenic view of Narragansett Bay. The entire hike, which takes you through 3.5 miles of trails, immerses you in several important scenes from the Revolutionary War, such as the Battle of Rhode Island, which took place in 1777. Once you’re in the woods, you’ll be surrounded by beautiful wildflowers and natural ecosystems, with bridges to take you through portions of wetlands.

The trail at Browning Woods begins 100 feet above sea level and will take you nearly 100 feet higher throughout wooded terrain and farmland. Pass by the remains of the Browning Homestead, a long-abandoned site. The three-mile trail also passes through swamp areas and streams, making it somewhat difficult but full of impressive natural beauty.

Open year-round, Kimball Sanctuary is 29 acres of beautiful space. Take in views of the glistening Watchaug Pond and enjoy 1.5 miles of moderate hiking trails. There is a mixture of both easy and moderately strenuous trails here, so if you’re looking to get your heart rate up, opt for a slightly tougher hike! 

This wildlife refuge is the Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s largest public property, spanning 1,010 acres. Take in the dense, diverse forests, shimmering waterfall, and even a historic cemetery. There are 10 miles of trails in this area, rated as moderate. 

This beach offers a calm inner cove and easy access to the open ocean. Rent a jet ski through Purple Ape, located in Westerly, Rhode Island. Rentals go at $75 for a half hour or $149 for an hour. You must be 18 years-old to ride with a valid driver’s license! 

To explore Narragansett Bay, Jamestown, and Newport, rent a jet ski with Adventure Watersports. Riders launch from the Conanicut Marine in Jamestown. Rates go at $175 per hour.  

One of the best ways to explore the beautiful town of Newport is by renting a jet ski from Scooter World. Specializing in fun land and sea toys (scooters, bikes, kayaks, and paddleboards), Scooter World offers jet ski rentals at $145 for the first hour and then $100 for every additional hour. They also offer guided/expanded excursions for those who want to see local sights but have less experience!  

It doesn’t get any more quaint and gorgeous than Block Island. Boasting 17 miles of beautiful beaches and plenty of water to explore, you can spend the whole day jet skiing off the Block. At the end of the day, stop into local restaurants and attractions to unwind! 

Located in Warwick Cove, Greenwich Bay Marina is a great place to get your day of jet skiing started! Brewer boasts an array of yacht yards and marinas all across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Rhode Island. You’ll have to bring your own ride, but there are plenty of amenities to get you prepared for a day on the water. There’s a spot to fuel up as well as showers and an on-site restaurant for after your long day riding the waves. 

The Arcadia Management Area has it all for the outdoorsperson in your life. Wood River has great canoeing, there’s plenty of fishing and boating allowed, and there are miles and miles of clearly marked trails for hikers! Make sure to share the trails with the horseback riders and mountain bikers who also frequent this park.

While you’re exploring the trails of this wooded preserve, you might stumble across a World War II memorial hidden deep within. It will take about a half hour of walking along the World War II Memorial Trail before you come along this fascinating site, where in 1943 an Army Air Corps airplane crashed, killing three servicemen who are now honored there. Though the trail offers plenty of its own intrigue, you’ll want to stop by Mercer Lookout to catch sight of the Providence city lights in the distance.

Make sure to check out the thriving biodiversity on show at Ninigret Wildlife Refuge. You’ll love visiting in the fall, too, when the woods are exploding with color. At Ninigret, you’ll find over three miles of natural trails featuring interpretive panels, kiosks, and viewing platforms to get a great look at the surrounding wildlife. 

This trail is a perfect spot for beginner hikers who aren’t trying to exhaust themselves. You’ll walk along easily navigable, flat trails that will take you to great bird-watching spots. Want more birds? Then add the nearby Norman Bird Sanctuary to your walk.

This charming 2.3-mile pond loop will take you on a beautiful waterside walk. Take a break on a bench or near an observation area, and then get right back up as there are four trails and 2,000 whole acres to explore! 

Hot Spots To Fish: Deservedly, Montauk, NY at the eastern end of Long Island is considered a storied mecca for striped bass fishermen. If you’re not going surf fishing on the beach or fishing from a jetty, Gone Fishing Marina (631-668-3232, gonefishingmarina78.com) can set up a charter trip for you. If it’s booked up, try Star Island Yacht Club (631-668-5052, starislandyc.com) or Montauk Marine Basin (631-668-5900, marinebasin.com).

Tackle You’ll Need: Stick with 30- to 50-pound braid or monofilament and a 60-pound-test shock leader of fluorocarbon, with saltwater-ready spinning tackle heavy enough to handle 10- to 14-foot rods. Penn, Quantum and Okuma specialize in fairly inexpensive surf-fishing rods, and reels to match. If you have a reel, but no rod yet, the new Black Inshore Rods from Lamiglas are up to the task. The five spinning and five casting models range from a 6-foot, 10-inch light finesse spinning rod to a 7 ½-foot casting rod rated for lures from 3 to 12 ounces in weight.

Best Lures/Baits: The 4 1/2-inch Acme Kastmater XL spoon, the 1 ½-ounce Odin Popper, and the 5-inch pencil popper from Tsunami are popular artificials up and down the Atlantic seaboard. Other popular options include the 6- or 7-inch Savage Gear Sandeel Swimbait, 9-inch Sassy Shad swimbait and the 6-inch Rapala X-Rap SubWalk.

For anglers who’d rather soak baits from a boat or in the surf, live or cut bait, such as Atlantic menhaden (peanut bunker), herring, porgies, eels, bloodworms, anchovies and mullet, can flip the switch on chaotic striper blitzes.

Even in the midst of winter, you might still be able to enjoy the rough granite along Lincoln Woods. Though this small rock is set within walking distance of walking trails and picnic areas, you’ll still get a good challenge from all of the friction along the stone’s face. 

This impressive lone stone of granite pops up just where you wouldn’t expect. Located in the Arcadia Management Area, Lost Boulder offers a good variety of heights and great slopes. It’s a great texture for climbing—if you can find it out in Arcadia, that is.

Another great spot located in the Arcadia area, you’ll enjoy attempting several routes to get to the top of this 29-foot firewall. The wall has been attempted by hikers since back in the 80s, when the state’s rock-climbing scene was dominated by the Rhody Loadies. Beginners or kids might appreciate a few of the slabs facing west, but this is a fun rock when approached from all directions.

Take a climb up this 50-foot cliff that spans about 60 feet in width. Watch out for the mica and quartz that sharply stand out from the mostly-pock surface. Climb wherever you want—but know that the rock does tend to be tough on the fingers. For more intense climbing, head further south on the rock, or go bouldering on some of the smaller rocs that lie around the main cliff. 

Take Route 6 west from Providence to end up at this nature preserve. You’ll head past the pond to find the cliffs best for climbing. Take a climb between 15 and 35 feet in height. Be prepared to encounter a bit of loose rock along some cliffs. These are some of the toughest routes in Rhode Island, which is why they are so popular among serious climbers.

With four connected trails, Tillinghast Pond is the perfect place to spend all day hiking. You’ll pass by benches and scenic spots where you can stop for a moment and enjoy nature before continuing on your walk. For those who like to understand what they’re seeing on a deeper level, Tillinghast also has placed signs around the area that describe the native plant specimen to visitors.

Enter deep enough within the layers of foliage and you’ll find a war memorial located in the center of this forest preserve. You’ll want to follow the World War II Memorial Trail for half an hour until you stumble upon the memorial, which was the site of an army airplane crash in 1943. In addition to the memorial, you’ll also discover great views of Providence and the surrounding landscape.

This historical refuge (protected by the Audubon Society) comprises over 1,000 acres of diverse forest and wetland ecosystems, like beech forests and cedar swamps. The wetlands are nestled within geographic features called kettle holes, which were created thousands of years ago by chunks of ice breaking away from the glaciers that swept over the entire state. Today, you might also stumble upon a cemetery once you’re within the forest. 

Beautiful fall scenery can be accessed without having to traverse difficult terrain! The trails around Glen Rock Reservoir are more like walking trails than hiking trails—making it a nice spot to bring the family or your dogs. If you’re not too intimidated by the threat of chilly water, rent a kayak and take it along Queen’s River to explore more of the fall foliage from the water.

Though you won’t be able to enjoy the beach during the fall, Lincoln Woods has plenty more to offer. Located in Blackstone Valley near routes 146 and 123, this state park doesn’t take long to get to when coming from Providence. The dense forests throughout the park turn to a bright yellow during October—you won’t want to miss hiking there. 

On the shores of the Bowdish Reservoir, you’ll find this 100-acre camping site perfect for tents, trailers, and RVs. Forests closely surround the campsite, making it a great place to see the leaves changing color. Catch a sunset over the water, or take a long hike up some of the trails nearby the campsite. Though there aren’t any hook-ups for RVs, it’s still a great secluded spot just far enough away for a weekend.

This spot in northwestern Rhode Island offers a perfect weekend getaway! The wooded campgrounds are an idyllic location to spend a few days with the family. Enjoy all 12 acres of land, including a recreation hall, basketball court, horseshoe pits, and playgrounds.

Make new memories at Greenwood Hill Campground! You might not be able to use the pool during the fall, but this camping area has plenty more amenities to offer. Visitors have been known to discover deer and plenty of other woodland creatures while wandering about the grounds—see if you can spot some yourself! 

Fishing, boating, and games for the kids—Holly Tree has it all! You’ll be camping along a huge stretch of coastline, just a few minutes from Watch Hill, Newport, and downtown Westerly. If the weather’s bad, enjoy their well-stocked game room for the kids, or duck under the pavilion to hang out, relax and read a book.

Three-hundred sites are all yours to choose from when you book your camping trip with Wawaloam. Their 100 acres of rural farmland are a picturesque place to enjoy the fall weather. This campground knows exactly what families need for a great camping experience! Stock up on snacks, camping supplies, and apparel at their general store. If you’re out in West Kingston late in the season, you can even take advantage of their winterizing service. 

Right at the boundary of Richmond and Hopkinton, the Wood River offers great fishing spots whether you are standing on shore, kayaking, or working out of a canoe. Fishermen here typically find great trout, among other types of fish.

A post shared by Ryan Rossi (@rednessisill) on May 23, 2015 at 2:03pm PDT

Come on a dewy morning or a foggy sunset to Watchaug Pond, nestled at the edge of Burlingame State Park. Use the boat ramp to launch your boat into the water from your car, or stay on shore and fish from the rocky crags on the side. You’ll quickly fall in love with this spot. Need some gear or a boat before for your adventure? Stop in at Breachway Bait & Tackle in Charlestown, Rhode Island. Here, they have salt and freshwater fishing gear as well as apparel and kayak and canoe rentals.
