Description

Added by Erin Hall

Short but scenic hike on the water! Bring your camera; this is protected deer habitat and they are not afraid of humans.

Careful on the drive in for deer!

From the parking lot head right around the Farm Field Loop Trail then continue to your right down Osprey Point Trail (0.8 miles). This is where you will most likely see the deer up close. Continue to your right to the Osprey Point Overlook, which will (on a clear day) provide you with a beautiful view of South Kingstown Town Beach and Block Island. Turn back and head to your left down Red Maple Swamp Trail (0.6 miles), and continue to your left to complete the Farm Field Loop Trail (0.5 miles) back to the parking lot. If you wanted to add some distance and see Trustom Pond at a new angle, head down the Otter Point Overlook trail!

Car Camp at Charlestown Breachway Campground

Rhode Island is nicknamed the Ocean State for a reason, and camping by the coast is something absolutely necessary while in New England. During the summer and early fall, Charlestown, RI, as well as the surrounding beach towns, come alive with tourists from all over the globe. The Breachway Campground is located within Burlingame State Park, one of the most popular and worthwhile parks in RI to...

Visit the Frosty Drew Observatory

The Frosty Drew Observatory is located near the tip of southern Rhode Island, which means apart from summer this is a very quiet beach town. The isolation from major urban areas provides the perfect conditions for star-gazing. The building itself is located on a large plot of land dedicated to nature observation and on Friday nights (when the facility is open to the public) is an interesting pl...

Watch the Sunrise at Roger W. Wheeler State Beach

We all love the time for the sun to rise and the moon to set, and we all love that time on the beach when our feet first touch the cool morning sand. Roger W. Wheeler State Beach is a great beach to catch the sunrise and it is easy to get to and easy to park. To say the least, it'll be worth waking up early for! Recently, I went to a friend's beach house rental for a night for the perfect 12 ho...

Watch the Sunrise at East Beach, RI

Walking over the dunes in the dark you can hear the waves breaking on shore from the parking lot. Wet suited up, camera in hand, make your way over the dunes and down to the water. East Beach is a sandy beach and with the right swell size and direction you'll get some sizable shore break to play in.Bring your friends, family or your dog and relax while the sun comes up!

Explore Beavertail State Park

Rhode Island isn't exactly on everyone's map, I've even met strangers in other parts of the U.S. who have no idea where the tiniest state in the country is. It's usually lumped in with Connecticut and Massachusetts, but for us locals from little Rhody, Rhode Island is it's own world of adventure spots, and Beavertail is one of the best.Beavertail State Park is on the island of Jamestown, which ...

Walk to North Lighthouse

In order to reach the Lighthouse you must walk along the trail that begins at the end of Corn Neck Rd. This walk is along the beach and then veers off to the left once you get closer to the light house (the seventh picture shows the start of the walk). It's only a half mile to the light house, but you will be walking over a rocky sandy beach, so having sturdy shoes is important. There are a lot...
