The path is a scenic, paved path following the old railroad bed. From the park it runs along the Bay, passes just inland of Mill Pond, nearby Colt State Park, and winds north along the Bay into Warren. The path extends 10.4 miles to Riverside Square in East Providence with another four miles to Providence yet to be built. In addition to bicycling, the path offers opportunities for walking, scenic views of the shoreline, and bird watching. Motor vehicles are prohibited on the path.
Parking is limited on the narrow streets.
Not suitable as trailered boat launch, it offers a nice view of the Bay and is popular for shellfishing. Located off Asylum Road, adjacent to Colt State Park, this town facility features a sandy, gravelly beach fronting Upper Narragansett Bay. There is a nice grassy area behind the beach, plenty of picnic tables, a playground, and basketball, tennis, and softball facilities. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer. Plenty of on-site parking is available.
