Hidden on the lush land of the South Kingstown Land Trust is an unexpected yet utterly magical fairy trail in Rhode Island. It’s not actually billed as a fairy trail, and you might just stroll past the tiny, adorable fairy houses along the way, if you didn’t know they’re there. Now you do, though, and you’re in for a magical adventure. How many fairy houses will you stumble across on your leisurely journey?

Meandering 7.6 miles through the South Kingstown Land Trust, the DuVal Trail promises a whole lot of natural beauty. However, expect a bit of a challenge as it's considered moderate.

If you're following what might be the best hiking trail in Rhode Island during the winter months, bundle up and be careful of slippery, icy conditions.

The warmer months are perfect for a journey along this scenic hiking trail in Rhode Island.
Watch your step as you climb up natural stairs. While you'll be shaded by the canopy of trees along much of the path, you'll still want to lather on the sunscreen. (Bring some with you, too.)

The natural stairs can get quite slippery after it rains and snows, so keep that in mind as you're hiking.
