Follow For This Trail In Rhode Island For Beautiful Views

We’re no strangers to beautiful scenery here in Rhode Island. Sometimes we drink it in on a leisurely drive or by taking a stroll on a sandy beach.

A wander along the Neutaconkanut Hill Park Loop Trail in Providence promises sweeping views, a few surprises, and plenty of lush green in the warmer months. This, however, is a hike worth following in any season.

All Trails/Linda & Butch Marold If you’re visiting during the winter and there’s snow on the ground, bring your sled. The park is home to an epic sledding hill.

Start your adventure by parking in the lot near the baseball field. Nearby you’ll find the trailhead as well as a map, so you can get an idea of the layout of the park.

The 1.7-mile trail scores an easy rating from hikers. However, be prepared to climb some hills. (The hills, after all, are what lead to those sensational views of Providence.)

Along the way, you might pass a few surprises - like the remains of an old vehicle, partially covered in foliage. While you’re close to the city, you’ll feel a million miles away from it all.

You might even be lucky enough to cross paths with local wildlife - turkeys and deer, for example. If you’re hiking during the warmer months, wear bug spray (and bring it along) as the trail can get really buggy.

Whatever obstacles you face along the way, you’re sure to forget when you see those views.
