Rhode Island may be a small state, but it contains a disproportionately large section of the East Coast Greenway, a 3000-mile bike tour down the Atlantic Coast that links Canada to Key West, Florida. Our favorite bicycle trail in Rhode Island is the East Bay Bike Path. It offers a fairly flat ride with scenic views of Narragansett Bay and local marshlands as well as easy access to myriad downtown eateries, several small state parks and conservation areas, and the Rhode Island Audubon Society Environmental Education Center, which provides a great educational experience for young and old alike.
If you know of (or have ridden and created) a more accurate one-way route on RideWithGPS for any of these Rhode Island bike trails, please let us know so that we can improve this page.
If you have limited time in Rhode Island, we highly recommend you explore some of the options in Newport and consider plotting a trip that takes you along the coast. You should also take some time to walk along the Cliff Walk, especially if it’s a beautiful day.
