South County Bike Path

Location

South Kingston, RI

Summary

Officially known as the William C. O’Neill Bike Path, the bike path is a paved trail that follows the section of the former Narragansett Pier Railroad 5.6 miles from Kingston Station to Wakefield. The bike path is used by walkers, runners, cyclists and in-line skaters.

The section of the path from Kingston Station to Genesee Swamp is of particular interest to birders since it goes through parts of the Great Swamp Management Area and provides access to mixed forests and freshwater marshes. The small bridge over White Horn Brook provides a nice overlook of Genesee Swamp. It is about 1.4 miles from Kingston Station to Genesee Swamp.
