Looking for a nice, easy, pleasant hike the entire family will enjoy? Hiking is a fantastic way to spend time together while enjoying nature, and Rhode Island has plenty of trails even a beginner can conquer. We highly recommend the Rome Point Trail, which leads to a beautiful beach.
The Rome Point Trail is located in North Kingstown at the John H. Chafee Nature Preserve
Matt C. / alltrails.com The John H. Chafee Nature Preserve is a beloved state treasure.
The trail is just over two miles in length (out and back), and it’s nice and flat the whole way to the beach.
Matt C. / alltrails.com You’ll start on a wide path surrounded by trees and head straight for the water.
It won’t be long before you see the water on the horizon.
Alexis SR / alltrails.com You’ll eventually come to a small hill, losing about 60 feet in elevation.
Rome Point is a popular beach, especially in the summer, but it rarely gets crowded.
Austin Cooke / alltrails.com In fact, fall is a fantastic time to go if you’d like some peace and quiet.
Walk along the shoreline with your little ones, stopping to skip rocks or look for seashells.
Austin Cooke / alltrails.com The shoreline is rocky, but you will see shells and starfish. You may even spot some seals in the distance (which your kids will love).
The trail is even popular in the winter — when snow covers the path, it gets packed down quickly.
Danielle Lisle / alltrails.com That’s because there’s never a bad time to go to the beach.
Not only is this trail kid-friendly, but it’s dog-friendly as well.

Have you ever walked this beautiful trail? If you enjoy hiking with your kids, these trails are also excellent.
