👍👍 Unique, scenic experience in Providence. Marcello was great. The complimentary biscuits were a nice touch. We had our own drinks and they provided glasses. They have drinks available also though.

👍👍 We have been going here for years with our dogs. There are off trails and hidden hang outs everywhere. It’s one of Rhode Island’s best parks in my opinion. It’s not big so it’s an easy place to walk and has a paved path on the main trail. You can be there as little to as long as you want depending o...

👍👍 Good family fun! The whole experience was a blast! They have 2- and 4-person carts. They’re not too difficult to pedal the 6 miles when you’ve got the rest of your party pedaling with you - everyone with our group said it was surprisingly easy. The views are great since the track follows along the s...

👍👍 This is a nice destination, you can choose for an easy stroll on a gravel trail or you can explore more discrete side trails. There are some interesting stones from previous structures or just old construction material in the form of stone slabs left in the woods. It's mostly shady and felt cooler...

The layout was perfect - i...
