Rhode Island certainly has no shortage of natural beauty. With views of all kinds available in such a small state, it can be mind boggling to decide which spot to spend the day exploring. Luckily though, it’s pretty near impossible to make the wrong choice! We are really loving this loop trail hike right now for a great look at some of the nature little Rhodey has to offer.
Wickaboxet Management area in West Greenwich has so much to see. At nearly 700 acres of untouched land, the area might seem overwhelming, but fortunately the main trail around the area is the best way to see as much of this gorgeous chunk of land as possible.

At 6.8 miles, the loop via Flintlock trail is a real hike! Once you’re done with the loop though, you’ll be right back where you started!

Just make sure not to rush your time there, it can be easy to try and conquer the length without looking around, but you’ll miss so much natural beauty.

There are gorgeous water views to take in along your hike as well as wildflowers, cliffs, boulders, and if you look very carefully, maybe some native wildlife.

There is even some history tucked away in these impressive woods just waiting to be found!

Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for old stone walls, steps, and the biggest surprise…

An authentic historic cemetery with many graves that are over a hundred years old!

This gorgeous trail truly has so much to offer for any kind of hiker, you can even choose to do a shorter chunk of the trail and still see an awful lot of the management area.
