- Ninigret Conservation Area Trail (Charlestown)
Ron Girard / alltrails.com In the spring and summer, this 2.5 mile trail is known for its beautiful wildflowers. But even in the middle of January, it’s a fantastic little loop that is great for all skill levels.
- Blackstone River Bikeway (Cumberland)
Melissa T / TripAdvisor This 16.5 mile trek is used for both walkers and bikers, and in the summertime, it’s hard to find a clear path. But in the winter, the foot traffic slows down, and it makes for a delightful nature walk.

Susan Rohrman / alltrails.com This pleasant 3 mile trail takes you straight to an inland saltwater estuary. The towering trees along the forested path will leave you feeling secluded in the best way.
- Weetamoo Woods Trail (Tiverton)
Joel Pousinho / alltrails.com This nice, easy loop spans about 4.7 miles, but you won’t know it. It’s such a pleasant and peaceful trek, you won’t even realize you’re exercising. This trail is just a small part of an intricate trail system in the Weetamoo Woods.
