Frenchtown Park and Frye Nature Preserve

Loved walking on this trail!! There were few dogs that weren’t on the leash but they were super friendly!!

A great spot for a leisurely, easily accessible walk through the woods. Enough trails for up to three or more hours of quiet exploring. A half-hour visit would also be very pleasant, if you're short on time. There is one staircase to descend at the entrance to the trail area. Otherwise the main trail is reasonably well-groomed and fairly level, as shown in the photos. It could be used with a stroller with large wheels (especially the three-wheeled type). Other trails are narrower, with somewhat bumpier surfaces and mild grades. Still nothing challenging. The trails all start at a large mill pond, with bridges over waterfalls. Then trails are mostly through the woods, with occasional views of several interesting stone foundations from former mill buildings and a network of abandoned stone-lined water channels. It's interesting to speculate on how the water was diverted to run the mills. The main trail parallels a shallow brook with rapidly running water most of the year. Dog-friendly. Lots of parking. Enjoy!

Lovely trails. I spent about an hour and a half here and almost walked all of the trails. Lots of little nooks to explore. Dog friendly as long as they are leashed. Not crowded at all. They are open 24/7 even Sundays and there is no fee. My pup and I had a delightful time!!

Frenchtown Park and Frye Nature Preserve looked gorgeous after Rhode Island’s first snowfall of 2022. I had the trail all to myself on a Monday afternoon.

Simply an amazing place to walk and hike about. There is a nice pond and two small waterfalls and plenty of trails to take your camera with you to get some great photographs.

Very nice little walking area. The path cuts quite close to a bunch of backyards, so it's not that wild, but it's pretty. The pond is nice too.

My visit here was very nice, there is alot of trails for taking nice walks or runs. I took my dog with me which they allow as long as they are leashed. We both had a ver y good time here. There's some cool old building foundations from the early 1900s or the late 1800s. Very nice place to take your family or animals. I give it a 5/5

Beautiful easy trail, a little bit rocky at some parts. Enough parking spaces

"Forest oasis" in the midst of suburban neighborhoods. Beautiful pond in all seasons with two waterfalls. Easy hikes with old mysterious some foundations and a bridge to nowhere.

Beautiful trail perfect for my 4 year old to bike while I walked

Wonderful place to take your pups for a walk or just for yourself.

My family loved this trail had a lot of fun

Fun, beautiful, and easy '"hike" for families with young kids!

Perfect short hike if you have kids and looking to burn their energy off. Loved the interactive side markers too. Also bonus, it’s dog-friendly. Perfect evening walk.

Very nice trail system, well marked and shady. The brooks that run through it as a nice touch. A enjoyable walk with your dog, your kids or just by yourself. Highly recommended!

With all the rain the pond was rushing over the 2 dams.

Neat place for short walks or longer hikes. Beware of poison ivy in late spring and summer. It was all over the ends of the bridges in the first stretch along the water's edge where people like to fish.

Amazing scenery, lots to look at and many different trails. I have run into some dogs not on leashes that were agressive towards my dog, but that was the owners fault. LEASH YOUR DOGS THERE WHEN ON BUSY TRAILS.

A very nice place to walk. There is a cute story you can get on your phone for kids to listen to on the way. Beautiful and peaceful

Beautiful place for a quick jog!
