You'll find this waterfront park on Poppasquash Neck - one of Rhode Island's most stunning pieces of coastline. The park calls this "the gem of the state parks system," and you'll see why the moment you arrive.

Samuel P. Colt built a majestic summer home here in 1905; today all that remains is the stone barn.

In addition to plenty of natural beauty, you'll find large lawns on which to picnic or fly a kite, an ADA-accessible fishing pier, and a popular open-air chapel.
