2.83 miles; cumberland, ri this was another providence county hiking club hike. i grew up not too far from here, but this place was a bit of a revelation. it was a great trail —in fact, it’s the beginning of the 30-mile warner trail that ends in sharon, mass. there was considerable climbing in the first […]
