The North South Trail was created back in the late 1980’s, giving hikers, mountain bikers and to a lesser extent, equestrians, a fantastic new way to travel across the little state of Rhode Island. Following a 77 mile route along the western edge of the state, the trail passes through the numerous state owned protected and preserved land, otherwise known as state management areas, that dot the area along the way. In between the management areas the trail follows scenic, paved back roads. Rhode Island doesn’t get any more rural than this. With its beginning by the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in Charlestown, the trail ends at the border of Massachusetts at Buck Hill Management Area in Burrillville. For the intrepid, from there you can follow Midstate Trail through Massachusetts and even walk all the way to the Appalachian Trail. For the less adventurous, this comprehensive book will guide you on your journey across the state. It contains useful information, the kind that will make your trip less burdensome, so you will have more time to enjoy the pleasant scenery. For example, the book has a extensive list of where you can access the trail and how to find them starting at the intersections of major roads. There is also a list of campgrounds on the trail, for those backpacking across the state.
Book includes detailed topographic map pages, turn by turn directions and trail descriptions.
