Blackstone River Bikeway
The eighteen-mile bikeway is Rhode Island’s
second-longest bike path, and runs alongside
the Blackstone River. The scenic path crosses
over the river several times and has views of
marshes, waterfalls and wildlife. The bikeway
includes eleven-and-a-half miles of continuous
path from Cumberland to Woonsocket, plus
some on- and off-road bikeways.
East Bay Bike Path
The East Bay Bike Path travels fourteen-and-ahalf
miles from India Point Park in Providence
through multiple towns on the East Bay to
Independence Park in Bristol. The path follows
the former Providence and Bristol Railroad and
has many spots for scenic waterfront views,
plus shaded areas for a quick rest stop. Plus, ice
cream shops in Riverside and Barrington and
Del’s Lemonade in Warren are just off the path
if you want to stop for a sweet treat.
Fred Lippitt Woonasquatucket River
Greenway
The greenway is a piece of the Woonasquatucket
River Greenway Project, created in the early
1990s by Fred Lippitt. Through a series of onroad
routes and off-road paths, you can ride
five miles from Lyman Avenue in Johnston into
Providence, linking up directly to the Providence
Riverwalk. The on-road segments are
recommended for runners and cyclists with
experience on busy road crossings.
Quonset Bike Path
Following the northern edge of the Quonset
Business Park, the bike path extends two-anda-half
miles from Post Road to the Calf Pasture
Point nature area in North Kingstown. The
bikeway is entirely off-road.
South County Bike Path
Also known as the William C. O’Neill Bike Path,
the South County Bike Path travels nearly eight
miles from Kingston Station in South Kingstown
to Mumford Road in Narragansett. The path
connects to on-road routes for access to the
Narragansett shoreline. The path is mostly built
on the former Narragansett Pier Railroad.
Ten Mile River Greenway
The Ten Mile River Greenway in Pawtucket is
three miles long and connects recreational spaces
and athletic fields including Slater Park. The
path follows the natural contour of the land
and provides a scenic ride along rolling terrain
on the banks of the James Turner Reservoir.
Warren Bike Path
The Warren Bike Path is one of the shortest
bikeways in the state, and links Kickemuit Middle
School, Hugh Cole Elementary School and
Warren Recreation Park. The one-mile path
extends from the Kickemuit River to Long Lane
and follows the abandoned Warren-Fall River
Railroad. A future section will include a bridge
over the Kickemuit River connecting to neighborhoods
on the other side of the river.
Washington Secondary Bike Path
The nineteen-mile-long Washington Secondary
Bike Path is the state’s longest bike path, and
runs from Cranston Street in Cranston to Log
Bridge Road, just past Route 102, in Coventry. It
is named for the abandoned rail corridor that
was once served by the Providence, Hartford
and Fishkill Railroad. For more than half its
length, the path runs parallel to the Pawtuxet
