Confirmed from Lincoln Woods 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“One of the most beautiful natural places in Rhode Island you can spend a day.”

Easy access to lots of trails. Perfect place for a quick walk in the woods. Lots of paved areas, lots to reserve, baseball field and a few large fields perfect for families and pets. On the water with a small beach area also.

★★★★★ — Alicia , Feb 2022

Nice park to go hiking...trails aren't marked but its pretty easy to find your way thru

★★★★☆ — Chelsea , Jun 2024

Beautiful park with 2 entrances, one off Breakneck Hill Rd. and the other off Twin River Rd. 2.5 mile loop offers walking, biking, and running. Pets welcome. Lots and lots of trails. I like trail running here. Abundance of rentable picnic areas and a full swimming beach here as well.

★★★★★ — Matthew , Feb 2023

Very relaxing to walk around at. 95% of the people I run into are awesome.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
