The Hike To This Gorgeous Rhode Island Pond Is Everything You Could Imagine

Living so close to the ocean really spoils us and, quite naturally, most of us love the water. While the ocean may be the top water destination in Rhode Island, the many lakes and ponds are also worth a visit. Like this beautiful Rhode Island pond that’s flanked by an abundance of natural beauty. Find it along the Belleville Pond Trail, the best hike in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.

Considered the crown jewel of North Kingstown's parks, Ryan Park provides a picturesque backdrop for a day outdoors.
