Confirmed from East Bay Bike Path Start's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about East Bay Bike Path Start
“When you get to the end in Bristol it's just a gorgeous view of the marina and there are many places to visit here as well.”
Best and most scenic trail I have been on yet. Have done many trails in MA, this is the first in RI. Will definitely be traveling to do this one again!
This trail is Awesome a beautifuI 14.5 mile rail trail. The state is building new bridges just for the trail over the water ways.
One of the best bike paths in the area. I just wish they fix the fallen bridge and eliminate the couple of detours.
Probably the best bike trail in the state. It’s next to the ocean, well maintained and a great trail.
