Rhode Island is such a beautiful little state. With so many types of terrain to see and over 100 individual hiking trails waiting to be discovered, it’s pretty hard to get bored in the smallest state in the country. Sometimes though, you may find yourself looking for an adventure that’s a little more out of the box, perhaps even something that may scare you just a little bit such as the Hunts Mills Trail. So, if you have a passion for being creeped out, I think checking out Hunts Mill in Rumford, RI is worth the trip!
