The URI (University of Rhode Island) Bike Path provides a safe conduit for students, faculty and staff to commute to and from school via the William C. O'Neill Bike Path. The asphalt, two-lane path stretches from the university's Kingston campus, past the athletic complex to State Route 138, where trail goers can cross safely by activating a red light that stops traffic in both directions. From there, the trail is nestled between wide open university-owned pastures and and scenic woodlands to join the William C. O'Neill Path at a point east of Ministerial Road. The 2-mile path was opened in late 2019.
University students and staff can park on campus, or walk/ride onto the trail. For others, park at 1 Railroad Avenue and then ride the William C. O'Neill Bike Path south and east to Ministerial Road. Look out for the URI Bike Path connection just east of there.
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.
