Guided Hikes

We host specially-themed hikes throughout the year, offering park visitors a chance to explore new trails and discover unique routes within our park system. Led by our knowledgeable Park Naturalists and Park Rangers, participants will gain fascinating insights into the natural, cultural, and historical features of the trails.  During the summer season, visit one of our six Nature Centers to join guided nature hikes led by RI State Park Naturalists. This program is proudly supported by a $15,000 Access Grant awarded in 2024 by the Bronco Wild Fund.

Check back often as we add more information on upcoming hikes including information on our 2026 First Day Hike!
