Life in Rhode Island is always good — but in the fall, it’s simply splendid. And of the many, many places known for peeping fall foliage here in the Ocean State, Roger Williams Park just might top the list. We highly recommend taking a stroll through this vibrant scenery before the season is over.

Roger Williams Park is an enormous 435-acre gem in Providence.

Know as The People's Park, it was created in 1871 after a generous land donation by Betsey Williams. Betsey was the great-great-great granddaughter of Rhode Island founder Roger Williams.
Today, Roger Williams Park has a botanical center, a zoo, a Carousel Village, swan boats, and so much more.

It hosts large annual events and festivals, small family gatherings, and is home to bike paths and ball fields.
You simply won't find a place quite this pretty in Rhode Island in the fall.
