This is my favorite bike path for scenic water views! It’s a long trail, paved, and flat. I suggest parking in between Barrington and East Providence, not at India Park. The ride from India park south for the first few miles is challenging. Bring cash to buy an iced Lemon drink at Dels.
Rode the length and back at height of peak season at peak time of day, a Saturday evening, while trail was crowded, everyone was cooperating with rules of the road and apparently having a nice experience. This is my husband’s favorite trail, as he says, great trail, paved, scenery and an ice cream at the end, what more could you want? Well, I could return during the day sometime to do some shopping!, but other than that…!
Love everything about this bike path, but even here while riding my bike which is a pedal assist bike I was shocked as I was verbally attacked by a cyclist who passed me calling me very vicious names when she realized I was on a pedal assist bike. I ride my bike on eco the lowest setting. I’m not going to make any excuses for riding a pedal assist bike because I’m older and just enjoy the ride better. I don’t understand why when I’m riding respectful of pedestrians and other riders that I was verbally attacked. I could not find info online regarding banning pedal assist bikes on this path.
This path starts off with beautiful Bayside views. It is clean and the town takes great care of it. There are lots of nice restaurants to enjoy at the end of your long haul!
Well loved, well maintained, smooth as glass, popular, etc., etc., etc. Hall of Fame qualities top to bottom!
As others have said, only the western end from Horgan Elementary/Riverpoint Park towards Coventry is accessible to out of owners. You can ride up the eastern ten ? Miles through Cranston, but there is NO PARKING, locals only. We went Cranston trailhead and 6 miles down at Vinton Rd, the former was a private business lot, the latter was formerly a parking lot now closed off with barriers and ropes. Parked at Horgans Elementary/city recreational park and enjoyed the awesome still in-use historic stone mills on the Pawtucket river, but would recommend parking at Pilgrim Rd, Coventry, very scenic, and the trail smooth as glass and well loved.

My second rail trail of the day (what's up with walking on the left??) and this trail was in much better shape. Plenty of parking even on a holiday weekend but the signage could have been better. Decent views of the water at the start if you like wind turbines and you'll see some nice water views at the end too. The nice thing about this trail is the variety of views. This does get a bit crowded but people do seem to be aware of their surroundings. Do not expect people from behind to announce themselves as few did.
First time riding RI paths (what's up with walking on the left??) and parked in the middle to ride east. This is an older trail and has not been kept up with many tree roots popping up the pavement making for a very bumpy ride. Lots of litter too. My experience is that most drivers did not acknowledge cyclists at road crossings.
Very nice, shaded and smooth with not many busy crossings
Beautiful day on this section of the Blackstone River Greenway. Trail is paved entire way and in very good shape with only a handful of road crossings. There were relatively few walkers/riders (Thursday), some benches along the way, a number of signs with historical write-up and nice views of some waterfalls. Overall an excellent 20 RT ride. Gave it a 4 only because of a few long "average views" stretches. The 195 Davidson Ave, Woonsocket, RI (northern point) address for GPS worked great.
