If there’s one thing on which we can all agree, it’s Rhode Island offers some of the most majestic views in the entire country. Most of them involve water, too – like the views you’ll be treated to on this spectacular trail in Rhode Island. It’s a slightly long one that poses some challenges, but you’ll likely agree all the work is more than worth it.
Arguably one of Rhode Island’s beloved gems, Block Island is the perfect place to spend a day in any season.

Before you set off, lather yourself in sunscreen and bring plenty along, too. While the trail features some shaded areas, you’ll be out in the open sun quite a bit as well.
