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.
What runners say about Lincoln Woods State Park
“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.
Nice park to go hiking...trails aren't marked but its pretty easy to find your way thru
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.
Very relaxing to walk around at. 95% of the people I run into are awesome.
