Print Friendly MapThe pleasantly tree-lined Warren Bike Path, built along the former Warren-Fall River Railroad, runs just under a mile from Long Road west to the Kickemuit River. The trail ends in an 18-acre park along the river known as The Meadows, which offers grassy areas in which to picnic or play.
To either side of the paved pathway is a school—Kickemuit Middle School and Hugh Cole Elementary School—as well as Warren Recreation Park, so the trail offers a safe route for children to travel. The trail crosses the Kickmuit River along a former trestle bridge and reaches its western end shortly after.
Less than two miles west of the trail lies the East Bay Bike Path, a beautiful and popular Hall-of-Fame Trail stretching from Bristol to Providence. Future plans call for a connection between the two.
On-street parking is available along Asylum Road. Trail users can also park at Warren Recreation Park on the south side of the trail, where the trail crosses Asylum Road. The entrance to the park is on the east side of Asylum Road, just before Hugh Cole Elementary School (50 Asylum Road); park along the park's half-circle driveway.
The path now continues west across the Kickemuit River over the so-called "Broken Bridge", which has been replaced (see: https://www.dot.ri.gov/projects/BrokenBridge/index.php). However, it is still a pain to get from there to the celebrated East Bay Bike Path, less than a mile west.
From the East Bay Bike Path heading east, turn onto Franklin Street (a cross street), arrive at Metacom Av, which is very busy but thankfully has aided crossings. In the future, one might continue east down Libby Lane. But for now, turn left onto Metacom Av (sidewalk) heading north, turn right onto Child Street (sidewalk), then right onto West Street. At its end, you'll see the bridge down River View Street.
This is a very peaceful paved pathway. You can park on Asylum rd in the middle of the path. You can then walk both sides for a good walk. Lots of birds ¿ especially towards the river. Not very long for bikes but good walk for small dogs.
