Rhode Island has some incredible hiking routes. From the world famous cliff walk to the Sachets Point National Wildlife Refuge Trail, this small state has an impressive amount of 5 star hikes. However, if you are looking for a different kind of route, and want to explore Narragansett a different way, grab your kayak and head on over to the Narrow River Kayak Route where you can spend the day exploring the area from a new vantage point.

There are four kayak launch sites along the Narrow River. This route starts at Pollock Road in South Kingston, Rhode Island.
