If you notice the RTT Map you will notice the island bike path is badly fragmented. A Bike Path ends & no signage to show where it picks up again. It will spit you out on a busy highway making it a nerve racking ride not knowing how long you will be in the middle of the busy highway. Be safe!
This is a multi use bike trail for everyone to enjoy.
Did this in August. The trails are well kept, a bit challenging but the views are incredible! You can ride right into ptown and avoid parking hassles and expense.
Trail is well maintained, very few bumps, and flat. It's listed as 6.6 miles long but I clocked it at closer to 7.5 miles. I gave it 4 stars because it's not really a very scenic trail.
Went on a ride just after 1pm. There were a lot of people. Some are so clueless that there are others that might want to use the trails. On a 90 degree day there were kids path side selling cold drinks and ice cream. At least they are out of the house. Path condition was nice. The path is maintained nicely and it’s clean. Wish there was a trash a can of two or few along the path as I saw many doggie poop gabs just left on the side of the path. Over all it was a good ride. Next time I would go in the morning or late evening to see how the crows is. Enjoy!
It is such a lovely trail. The view is gorgeous, either from the ocean or from the land. It goes through a few towns, all lovely and friendly. There are shops along the trail for you to stop by for ice cream, coffee or lemonade. There are a few road crossing, but the cars are very friendly and stop to let cyclists cross. The destination Bristol is just beautiful! Some areas are in the open, so the wind can be your friend or not …..
It’s a nice paved path, shaded half way through. Good for families with kids. Parking is free but though to find, suggests keep following the path till you find parking. There are several options along the way from the eastern end of the trail. Few food and restroom options, within coffee or mall shops. Public restrooms are very limited at least when starting from east end. We went only half way and back, with kids. Looking forward to finish the second half soon.
I live in Massachusetts about 25 minutes from this trail, my absolute favorite trail is the East Bay bike path, but that is about an hour drive for me, so this is one I frequent more often. I like the length of this ride, and that it is scenic, and more interesting than some of the rail trails that can be kind of boring. I think it is an easy ride, with just a few spots I need to lower my gears. I pack a lunch, snacks, and can be out for a few hours. There is ample parking, 195 Davison Ave Woonsocket is the address I use for WAZE. I have never gone as far as Providence, so I can only review Woonsocket - Lincoln.
A delightful paved trail in excellent condition. Relatively flat with some pretty views of the lake. There is a side spur to Speen Street that connects to the Natick Mall. Great for a quick and easy ride.
Did the whole thing west to east and back in one ride. Enjoyed the history for the trail that was posted along the trail. Give you a chance to stop, slow down and just enjoy the ride. Half of the trail is stone dust but still good. No big ruts and water channels (even with all the rain we had recently). Plenty of parking along the way is you want to jump into a section of the trail. There are even repair station on the trail if you have a bike problem. Greatly appreciate the convenience of it. Enjoy the ride!
I’ve skated every inch of this path dozens of times over many years. There’s a badly done asphalt patch at mile nine plus 100 yards (from the south end) that has a sharp lip that can face plant you. There are a fair number of root heaves that need your attention but can be skated or stepped over. There’s a public bathroom in the lobby of the Warren police station 150 feet from the trail (around mile 4 from the south end). Walk up the stone stairs from Joyce St.
