Newport, RI's Cliff Walk Rhode Island state laws
Rhode Island Laws Affecting Cliff Walk
Rhode Island's Section 32-6 of the state laws gives property owners "Limitation" from liability in regard to walkers on the Walk. We are not lawyers but all walkers should be aware of the following state law.

§ 32-6-2. Definitions. As used in this chapter:
§ 32-6-3. Liability of landowner Except as specifically recognized by or provided in § 32-6-5, an owner of land who either directly or indirectly invites or permits without charge any person to use that property for recreational purposes does not thereby:
§ 32-6-4. Land leased to state Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the provisions of § 32-6-3 and this section shall be deemed applicable to the duties and liability of an owner of land leased to the state or any subdivision or agency thereof or land which the state or any subdivision or agency thereof possesses an easement for recreational purposes.
