Finding Things To Do In Kent County

Recreation & Activities in Coventry

Much like it’s neighboring towns in Kent County, Coventry offers a wide range of outdoor activities. The biggest attraction is the “Trestle Trail” or Washington Secondary Bike Path. This 19-mile bike path stretches from Cranston to the edges of Coventry and nearby Connecticut. Walkers and wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy this picturesque facility, which is easily accessed and provides a great location for casual exercise throughout the year.

One very popular area to buy a home in Coventry (and visit for recreation activities) is Johnson’s Pond. At 659 acres of fresh water, with an average depth of 19 ft., it’s one of RI’s best spots for swimming, fishing, and more.

Recreation & Activities in West Greenwich

Much like the rest of western Rhode Island, West Greenwich is largely made up of forests, farms and natural landscapes, so the area is rich with outdoor recreation opportunities. It’s home to several nature preserves, state parks, wildlife refuges, and freshwater ponds.

Big River Management Area

By far the largest outdoor recreation spot in West Greenwich at 8,319 acres. Here you’ll find fishing, numerous nature trails, and hunting opportunities if you’re licensed. There is also a freshwater quarry open for swimming!

Welcome to Warwick

At nearly 50 sq. miles, Warwick has a lot of space and opportunity for recreation. Beaches, public parks, golf courses, historic villages, and fun annual festivals are plentiful in this city. Some might even say Warwick residents are a little spoiled because of their easy access to Goddard Park and RI tourism favorites like the Warwick Neck Lighthouse.

Discover Things to do in West Warwick

For a small town, West Warwick has a surprising number of local parks and recreation areas for residents to enjoy. The Washington Secondary Bike Path, a 19-mile stretch that travels directly through the northern section of town, can bring you to the edges of Coventry or all the way up to Lower Providence. Matteson Pond and Riverpoint Park are two areas perfect for day hiking, outings, and nature walks. And if you’re looking to play a quick game of golf or become a member, West Warwick Country Club and Midville Golf Club are both nine-hole, regulation length courses.
