Confirmed from Haines Memorial State Park'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.
Bayside green space with a boating ramp, cycling trail, playing fields & seasonal farmer's market.

Best place to launch a boat in the Providence area. Plus they have a picnic area in a place to walk the dogs. Nice view of the water. It's also another great place to people-watch there in the summertime.
