Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: Some of the sections in the two miles between Marine Avenue and Bailey Beach are a bit rough, requiring the negotiation of boulders that can be damp with sea-spray. I wouldn't walk that section in flip-flops, but sneakers are OK.

Comments
Comments: "Unique" is overused, but certainly applies to Rhode Island's most famous trail. Not a wilderness experience, for sure, but I love it.

The two miles between Memorial Boulevard and the Chinese Tea House (Marble House) can be jammed in the summer, but not this time of the year.
