The Rhode Island Trail With A Meadow, A Footbridge, And A Lake You Just Can’t Beat

Hiking's pretty much the perfect activity. Think about it. Whether we're newbies or seasoned hikers, we can find a trail that matches our skills. We get to see parts of Rhode Island we might never see, especially when passing by in a car, and there are so many amazing trails throughout the state. What could be better? Not much, except maybe setting off on this can't beat trail in Coventry, Rhode Island.

You won't need a lot of time - half an hour tops - for your stroll along the Whipple Conservation Area Loop Trail in Coventry.

The conservation area has a small parking lot.

The easy 1.1-mile trail meanders through a wooded area and, as long as they're on a leash, dogs are welcome.

While the trail, which will take you over the Best Buddy Bridge, is easy, you do have to pay attention as you walk. Hikers warn that there are quite a few roots that jut out of the ground.

If you're a fan of fairy tales, you'll likely be awe-struck by this picturesque path that includes a footbridge and...

Tree huts. You'll even get a glimpse of the Pawtucket River.

If you're not in a hurry, grab a seat on one of the benches, and admire the views around you. You might even see deer moseying by.

You'll pass Hope Meadow and a lake, too. Depending on when you hike it, the trail can get buggy. Bug spray is recommended.

The trail can get quite busy at times, so be prepared to run into other hikers. It sometimes gets quieter, with both adventurers and bugs, in the cooler months.

It's one of the best hidden adventures in all of Rhode Island.
