Tourists flock to Rhode Island during the summer for its beautiful sandy beaches, breathtaking ocean views, and to-die-for seafood. What some don’t realize is how truly sensational the quiet of winter is in Rhode Island. Chances are you’ve explored just about every corner of the state during the warmer months, but have you ever seen Rhode Island’s Stepstone Falls in the winter? If not, plan a visit after a fresh snowfall this season.
Tucked away in Exeter's Arcadia Management Area, Stepstone Falls is perhaps the most popular and beloved waterfall in Rhode Island, making it a must-see each season.
After a fresh snowfall, when the ground is still free of human footprints, set off on the picturesque 2.7-mile Ben Utter Trail that leads straight to this natural wonder.
While the trail can get quite busy - and buggy - during the summertime, you'll likely find yourself alone with nature and wildlife on a cold winter day. If it's peace and quiet you're craving, you've come to the right place.
