Looking for a nice, easy, pleasant hike the entire family will enjoy? Hiking is a fantastic way to spend time together while enjoying nature, and Rhode Island has plenty of trails even a beginner can conquer. We highly recommend the Rome Point Trail, which leads to a beautiful beach.

The Rome Point Trail is located in North Kingstown at the John H. Chafee Nature Preserve

The John H. Chafee Nature Preserve is a beloved state treasure.
The trail is just over two miles in length (out and back), and it's nice and flat the whole way to the beach.

You'll start on a wide path surrounded by trees and head straight for the water.
It won't be long before you see the water on the horizon.

You'll eventually come to a small hill, losing about 60 feet in elevation.
