Blackstone River Bikeway

Highlight • Cycleway

This is a teeny stretch of actual paved bike path. A great place to take a break, some water, some pics and get moving North toward the beginning of the full Balckstone River Bikeway (especially if you're coming from East Providence etc.)!

Only Rhode island has really completed their section from Woonsocket to Central Falls. The completed trail doesn't reach either Worcester or Providence. At Central falls RI you can transition to on street bike lanes to reach Providence. North of Woonsocket over the Massachusetts line there are some spotty sections of trail but don't expect a continuous bike path like the pictures.

Great place to catch a breath and appreciate the view of the bridge. They have a post with some information. Also, available parking right below of the bridge for doing segments of the bike path.

The Blackstone River Multi-Use Trail offers a scenic way to explore the Blackstone Valley by bike or on foot. Spanning over 24 miles, with plans to extend to 48 miles, this trail is popular for recreational users and commuters, passing beautiful river views, historic mills, and wildlife. It’s Rhode Island’s second-longest bikeway, with portions running through Cumberland and Woonsocket, following the historic Blackstone Canal and crossing the Blackstone River a few times.

This is the main trailhead for the start of the Blackstone River Bikeway in Woonsocket. Although the whole Blackstone River Bikeway technically connects Worcester, Massachusetts to Providence, Rhode Island, the Woonsocket to Central Falls section is the only part on a completely dedicated bike path. At the trailhead there is a large parking lot with river views.

The Blackstone River Bikeway connects Woonsocket to Central Falls along the Blackstone River on a paved, continuous multi-use path. The whole Blackstone River Bikeway technically connects Worcester, Massachusetts to Providence, Rhode Island, but the Woonsocket to Central Falls section is the only part on a completely dedicated bike path. This particular section of trail starts in Woonsocket and runs to just west of Cumberland Hill, where you get cool views of the river cascading over a dam.
