My wife and I ride (e-bikes) this once a year or so. Today (Monday mid-May) was the first we experienced some new bridges eliminating previously awkward and annoying sections. The trail is paved and has wildlife, the bay, a troll sculpture, several bike shops and some eateries along the way. It has always been a go to for us but even more so now. We also did an extra 6 road (rt) miles to check out Roger Williams University. A gem of a trail.
This trail needs open parking spaces! Most of the parking spots are blocked off!
This is a multi use bike trail for everyone to 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.
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.
Thoroughly enjoyable, three hour ride, passing chest at the beach, through neighborhoods, wildlife conservation areas, and over bridges. The Bristol parking lot is being redone and cannot be used, but we found parking on the streets. There were at least two detours in Barrington, but that made it only more exciting. only nice people on the trail and drivers stopped very politely at every of the many intersections. Overall, this ride was a pleasure and worth the 1 Hour drive to get there.
What a perfect ride on a Monday afternoon. Delighted to stop at Plant City for refreshments before we turned around and headed back to Bristol.
Trail is nicely shaded, paved and fun scenery. Yes, 6 mile round trip is indeed quite short for us - and hence the rating of 4. We combined this with the Blackstone River Greenway (20 mile R/T), one of our favorites. Around a 30 minute car drive between the two. This trail does have rest facilities about half way at a public park. The Blackstone has none.
We just got back from doing this trail yesterday.
We started at the north end at the Fort Hill Parking area.
There were plenty of spots to park when we arrived.
Being a very nice day, there were LOTS of people out enjoying the trail.
We only went as far as Police Cove Park where the trail was closed.
There was a detour route that continued but we decided that was enough for the day and headed back.
We did take the side trail out to the carousel, which we knew would be closed from checking on the web.
We were a little surprised that a trail so nice didn't have ANY restroom facilities. It wasn't easy to go into the woods between lots of poison ivy and people on the trail.
We'll go back and go from south to north and enjoy the rest of the trail
