The Blackstone River BikewayWhile slightly less accessible (accessing the bike path requires a 6 mile ride through Pawtucket on side roads), the Blackstone path is a beautiful 18.2 mile path from Providence to Woonsocket. It runs along the Blackstone river, and has great views of old dams and other historical landmarks.
