This is a well maintained, scenic paved trail with a connecting loop around Colt State Park (additional 3 miles or so if chosen). Approximately half the trail is shaded with lots of road crossings, most of which - despite the signs - can be safely traversed w/o dismounting. We parked at India Park and headed off to southern end near Bristol where there were plenty of benches to relax and enjoy the views before heading back,
Started from India point park and it isn’t marked where to. We lost the “route” many times because of no signage. Very bumpy, wouldn’t call it a scenic ride.
Great ride on a beautiful Saturday mid-June. However, all parking was taken at the Amtrak station area and even at the "Additional Parking" lot. On the other hand there was plenty of parking around the URI campus and the URI bike trail (2 Miles) connects with the O'Neill. The O'Neill trail is mostly shaded, in excellent shape and surprisingly not that crowded. There's numerous road crossings but cars were typically very accommodating to stop. At trails end we went another mile into Narragansett to check out the town and beach scene. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon.
The trail has an excellent surface and made for an easy trip to the University for my wife and I. At the trail end we toured off trail thru the main campus before returning to the William C. O'Neill trail. Total distance of 6 miles. We rated it 4* because of the lack of interesting scenery (other than URI) and being fairly short.
Get outta here. Put an asphalt trail down or stop wasting our time.
All the previous posts are right on so I won't duplicate. Here's an add: Pie in the Sky restaurant is excellent for sandwiches, wraps, cookies, etc. But wherever you purchase, get takeout and, if nice wx, go down Water St. a few blocks and enjoy the park with benches and views, typically few people and - of course - your meal.
Just finished the whole trail, plus the Charter Oak Trail, from Columbia to Manchester, and back. 44 miles at 12.5 mph. A very gentle steady climb of about 500 feet to Bolton Notch, from the east. Also about 500 feet up the South end of Manchester. With the exception of a short stretch leaving Columbia, the trail is very rideable, in fine shape. Highly recommended!
The Mattapoisett Rail Trail goes along the ocean and over marshland. It is absolutely beautiful. Although short, it seamlessly merges into the Fairhaven Rail Trail almost out to Fort Phoenix. Highly recommended.
Moosup Valley State park trail is currently closed for renovation.
Closed back in November 2023, and construction began.
I talked to a crew member, and he said the 6mile section from Downtown Moosup to the CT state line was being redone.
I do not know est time for completion.
Stonedust. I've seen new drainage being placed. fences. The section through sterling is quite well marked now.
A new parking lot appears to be added on spring lake road/railroad ave, just off rt 14A in Sterling. at the CT border side.
I've seen and heard no word on the section from CT state border to log bridge rd/102 where the paved Washington secondary rail trail begins in RI.
RI section is still open.
from rt 14a to ri state border is stonedust. at RI state border it reverts to dirt. This dirt is still quite passible for most travel. road bikes/strollers included. The viaduct valley for Carbunkle ponds river is soft sand. would not be great for strollers or road bikes.
the old rail bridge near lewis farm road is still magnificent.
this section is heavily trafficked by walkers, dogs.
From lewis farm road to log bridge road is old railroad grade gravel.
not suitable for strollers. great for mountainbikes/gravel bikes. and mostly ok for all terrain. Road bikes can do it.. but may wish to simply divert to 117, which follows the trail closely.
The worst part of this section is just before hopkins hollow rd coming from the West. there is a large deep puddle/lake crossing the entire path just at the end of the locals driveway.
A very nice paved 10 mile (one way) trip with plenty of birds & turtles. Park at Rivers Edge Parking to get started. Along the way the posted history is interesting, there are 3 large dams to check out and on this beautiful sunny day lots of wildlife. Once you get to Valley Falls area the trail ends and on-street begins. We continued on for maybe 2 miles but the signs were not consistent and the traffic was troublesome enough we turned back. Our rating only applies to the paved 10 mile section.
It's a nice path, don't get me wrong, but people are trashy as hell. First of all, if this is labelled as a bike path, don't tell walkers to walk against bikers. Also, there's trash everywhere and dog crap on the actual path. Whoever lived in that area takes this path for granted and it shows. I would be thrilled to have a path like that near me. Pick up after yourselves - JC!
