Stepstone Falls Is A Beginner-Friendly Waterfall Trail In Rhode Island That’s Great For A Family Hike
Spend a day in the rich wilderness of Arcadia Wildlife Management Area in West Greenwich, Rhode Island. The whole family can enjoy the great outdoors together here, and if you’re up for a hike you can view the serene Stepstone Falls in the process.
The 2.7 mile out and back hike takes you through a series of different terrain types, keeping kids with wandering imaginations engaged and excited.
The Stepstone Falls drop 10 feet over a 100 foot distance, creating a smooth and beautiful fall consistent with Rhode Island's less mountainous landscape.
Other hikers recommend visiting this trial in the spring, summer and fall because the winter can cause slipperiness on the trail and the trail markers are more difficult to find in those blustery, snowy months.
Visiting in warmer times will also allow peak viewing of the lush foliage around the nature preserve. Watching the trees reflect in the pristine water of the falls is a magical experience.
