Colt State Park is breath-taking. It’s views are picturesque and panoramic. There are paved biking / hiking paths that run alongside the Narragansett Bay and over a beautiful rock bridge. There are open fields for soccer, frisbee, running, kite flying and catch. It has several basketball courts, a small skate and bike ramp area and numerous picnic table and fire pit rentals. You can also find a playground, boat ramp and a pier for an even closer look at the ocean. There is even a small beach for swimming.

If you enjoyed Colt State Park, check out the Audubon Nature Center and Aquarium which is pretty close by.  If offers an indoor educational museum and aquarium with a short nature trail, access to the East Bay Bike Path and beautiful gardens.  Another place that you may like is Osamequin Nature Reserve if you like birds or the Veterans Memorial Park if you are looking for a quiet place with minimal foot traffic that is dog friendly.
