A beautiful outdoor space any time of the year; there are a number of trails to peruse this mix of coastal wetland filled with marshes, fields, forest, and farmland. There is a small parking area on George Street just as the road starts to curve. A small sign marks the entrance to the first trailhead. Named for a Barrington native and prominent naturalist, the trails here meander through the various landscape. A couple off-shoots give you access to areas like a small boardwalk area that extends into the upper marshlands. Several of the fields have birdhouses erected that attract all kinds of species. I believe I caught a couple views of some bluebirds during my time here. And geese. So many geese. Another trail delivers you to the sandy shores of the Hundred Acre Cove. Really beautiful in January when I visited, all iced over. This beach is a nesting area for the diamondback terrapin. There is a park bench on this shoreline to soak in the views. Of note, there is a seemingly out of place pistol range on site for the Barrington Police which is very well-marked for safety. All-in-all, a pleasant place to get outside.

One of my favorite parks ever, truly a beautiful, happy place for me. Here's everything I love…read moreabout it: 1. Easy access to/from Boston, I've never run into bad traffic the way the Cape is perpetually backlogged. Also a convenient location where, if you're coming from the north, you drive through the cute downtown stretch of Bristol by the water filled with cafes and shops. 2. Free entry and parking. I love the state parks in Massachusetts but I don't love the ever-increasing cost of accessing a green space, especially if you're coming from out-of-state. 3. There's so much to do - walk the paved path along the water, bike, check out the small beach, picnic, etc. My favorite spot to park is by the playground/skateboard area and then do a loop around. There's also a forested hiking trail if you want to wander around a forest without any serious elevation gain. 4. The whole place is spotless and lovingly maintained. If you're swinging through Providence and want your fill of nature, definitely recommend this park.

The water is New England rocky and murky but also very calm. Rocky beaches are meh but kids had fun. There's also a nice snack shop that has ice cream and sandwiches. The issue: it's a $30 dollar per car charge. I'm not against paying for access but the facilities are public so it's strange they'd charge that amount. Residents pay a lot less - like 10. That said there is a life guard , the beach was clean and there is staff to pay.

Private beach club that hosts a short stretch of beach in front of an immense rock that…read moreresembles...you guessed it, an elephant. Like some other beach clubs that I have visited, the general public is not allowed entry through the front gate unless someone sponsors you as a guest. I actually think that it keeps the atmosphere peaceful and relaxed with that type of guest control. Up until last summer, my father's family owned a house on the beach here, had a family membership that we all could enjoy and we strolled our guests beachside into the exclusive private club beach area. However, there is a small parking lot about a quarter mile up that has about five parking spots. Follow Acoaxet Road as if you were going to drive into the ocean. If you snag a spot, you can clamber over some rocks, walk to the right a few yards down to the beach club area and be treated to some truly unspoiled beach-going. The sand is unreal, sea glass amazing and the waters are crystal clear. The body surfing (or body boarding) here rocks!! If you go to the left of the parking lot, you can find the ruins of some of the mansions that were swept away in the 1938 hurricane. Only the staircases remain. Very cool. The beach club has the only restroom facilities. You can totally saunter up to use the lav (women to the left and men to the right) if you make it look like you know what you're doing. Phone service (all carriers) and GPS is spotty, at best, down here. One of the few times you might actually want to print a map. Great roads for road biking. It is truly pristine here.

Peaceful trails on a…read more very quiet island Prudence Island is an island in the middle of Narragansett Bay that's about 7 miles long and only about a mile wide. No fancy restaurants, no B&B's, no places to buy crummy t-shirts and not even a public bathroom. It doesn't care about or even wants tourists and about two thirds of the island is conservation land. There are some houses on the island but not many people go to visit. That's part of what makes it so special. There is a ferry from the town of Bristol that goes out there or you can just kayak or sail a few miles across the bay. Lots of places to land and nobody really cares what you do on Prudence as long as you are quiet about it. It's a cool place to bike ride but it also has some nice hiking. Most of the trials are in the middle of the island and are extremely well taken care of by the people that live here. They trails are short but most of them connect so you can jump from one path to another and keep hiking for a while. The whole island has ticks and proper precautions are absolutely necessary because Lyme's Disease is a real danger here. Not vigorous or difficult hiking by any means but the scenery and isolation is stunning. Absolutely quiet except for the numerous birds. No car noise, cell phones or people talking. It's very unlikely you will ever see another person even during the "crowded" summer months. During the winter the trails are beautiful and hiking through the quiescent snow is a great and ethereal experience. The ocean is never far away and the smell and sound of the salt water is your constant companion. The trails have rather mundane names like The Army Road, School House Trail, Crow's Nest and Bob Clachrie Trail. Nothing really special about any particular trail except for the fact they are on a very peaceful and isolated island. With all the noise and chaos in the world that alone is very special.
