Route: Rhode Island - NE to SW (RI)

Woonsocket to Westerly is like tracing Rhode Island’s spine, from its gritty northern edge to its breezy southern shore. This route was selected to avoid highways making it a safe run on the mainland and is a non-trail route. This is a journey through mill towns, college cities, farmland, and coastal calm. In principle this is an open course route where you can design your preferred route but 102 is a good option for a long stretch. The endpoints are the St Pauls cemetery just across the MA border, and the tip of Watch Hill point by the lighthouse.
