Rhode Island’s hiking trails are spectacular in their own way… and most of them can be hiked all year long. However, there are definitely some we’d recommend this time of year more than others. As fall begins to fade into the winter months, we suggest taking a trip through the beautiful Weetamoo Woods.
There are actually over seven miles of trails within Weetamoo Woods, but the main trail covers about 4.7 miles.
Prior to its European settlement, the Pocasset people fished and farmed the eastern shore of the Sakonnet Passage. Weetamoo was an honored sachem and died in the King Philip's War. And Pardon Gray, who became a Colonel in the Rhode Island militia during the Revolutionary War, is buried in the cemetery here.

The trail has some gentle slopes, rocky pathways, and plenty of trees, including a rare coastal oak-holly forest, and an Atlantic white cedar swamp.

By then, the summer crowds are long gone, everything is quieter, and it just seems infinitely more peaceful.
Weetamoo Woods usually gets a nice fresh coating a few times throughout the season.
Just make sure to pay attention to the trails or take a map with you. It's easy to get lost in these beautiful woods.
