When I need local squid for fluke season, this is where I go, when I need clams for spring tautog and seabass fishing, this is where I go. I've purchased the vast majority of my rods and reels through them, and they always have the best prices. This is your one stop shopping spot whether you are driving in from CT or NY or you are fishing anywhere in South County. They are located right in downtown westerly.

This came up as a trail for me when I was searching, and it is, but as the name indicates is more…read moreof a fishing point than a trail. The trail runs right along the water, offering multiple side paths that take you directly to the shore. Some great views, and although the terrain isn't hilly, it's not straight and has just enough incline to make it challenging without it actually being challenging, if that makes sense.

Keep in mind the parking lot is very limited in # of spaces and although the walking paths are wide and generally well kept, it's not a great situation for those with mobility issues. Keep in mind it's not a good beach/swimming venue, but more explore the rocks and tide pools. Seems very popular with fisherman.

Anyhow, It was peak foliage season so the bright vibrant colors that reflected off the stillness of the water as I drove by is what caught my attention. It was a great spot to pause life, take a deep (covid-free) breath of fresh air and take in the beauty of what is around us and often overlooked. I wish I could comment on the fishing part but I'm not really one for fishing. But hey, check it out if you are interested.

There are also a number of interpretive signs that convey some of the history and current uses of the buildings. There are a number of war monuments and some cool sculptures.

Opposite the park, there is a nice mural with her image and apparently a quote by her "The People Shall Have Their Park". Respect. The park is open dawn to 9pm. Street parking.

It feels to me like I am in in a European park, with fountain, statues, and carefully sculpted ponds, with bench seating throughout. It's a large space with winding walking paths. Much nicer in the summer when everything is in full bloom but even in the winter or early spring on a sunny day it still has a lot to offer a nature buff like myself. You can park on the street for free and access the park at different points. Definitely worth a visit particularly in the warmer weather.
