lovely paved pathway for biking, running or walking. It is a well maintained area that runs along the Blackstone River. There are some small inclines along the way but nothing steep. There are many areas where you are able to gain access to the path. Be aware It is not cleared after snowstorms….

RISD Museum continues to be top-notch! we were there Jan 2015 and much of the displays delighted me-again, or newly! Beautiful furniture design-a cherry music stand as eye-catching as a sculpture--some classics from mid-century 1900's still sharp and stand-out well-designed---but I also want to compliment the guides this time. We were given suggestions and offered assistance to see more of what we were obviously enjoying by several guides-and helped navigating some of the more confusing halls and connections between areas. All was done pleasantly and so helpfully-I was really impressed and grateful!
4. Powder Mill Ledges Wildlife Refuge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
Reviewed By pmccoy505 - Pomfret, Connecticut
We reviewed this location for #ThisIsNewEngland after our visit there November 9, 2014. Well marked trails, family friendly, Couples everywhere, though far between them and us, as this area is huge.
The downside is that on the Orange Trail, you escape the city view and have awesome nature everywhere, but you never really escape the noise of the city. The other trails are further away, so they might have a better sound buffer.

6. McCoy Stadium
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 269 reviews
A popular baseball field (home of the Pawtucket Red Sox) for minor-league games that draws a huge crowd.
Reviewed By apatriot73 - Massachusetts
I have been coming here for years and years. It is a great place for watching AAA Baseball . It is much better in many ways than seeing MLB first hand. The prices for everything are drastically cheaper, less crowds, better parking-free if you get there early, including handicapped and easier traffic.
I would recommend going to MLB at least once in a lifetime though. Many stars come from AAA. The players usually like giving autographs.
Lastly, McCoy has events sometimes, like walking the field, fireworks and more.

We are located a the north east end of the airport next to the big blue hanger. Follow signs for the skydive center. Pull in, park and walk up to white building. Spectators are welcome. We have large picnic tables and a deck where friends and family can see you jump.
