5.2 miles; South Dartmouth, MA I decided to check this place out after seeing a post about it on my friend’s blog, Trails & Walks in RI. And am I glad I did. This is not only a very beautiful place, and a nice long trail system, but the suspension bridge is the most fun I’ve ever had on […]

5.5 miles; Windsor Locks, CT Although I now live in Connecticut, I grew up in Rhode Island, and as a Rhode Islander, I have this ingrained idea that any trip longer than about 20 minutes, you should pack a lunch. Anything over 2 hours, plan to stay overnight. Some of the DEEP hikes are pretty […]

5.5 miles; Exeter and Hopkinton, RI and Voluntown, CT I’ve done this hike in a couple sections, but today I was able to do it in one go thanks to a car spot with a good hiking pal.
