Take A Gorgeous Fall Hike Through Roger Williams Park In Rhode Island
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.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

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.
It hosts large annual events and festivals, small family gatherings, and is home to bike paths and ball fields.
The gorgeous fall foliage here is known all around New England.
This 3.8-mile loop is an easy, pleasant trek, but it's still quite a workout.
There is also. paved route perfect for strollers and wheelchairs if needed.
And the shores of the ponds and lakes happens to be the best place to do it.
