July 6, 2023 – Rocky Point State Park – Rhode Island

Today, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to Rocky Point State Park in Warwick, Rhode Island. The Park is currently a 120-acre state park but was formally an amusement back in the 1880s. It includes a 1.6-mile paved trail, beach, fishing pier, trails, and many remnants of its history as an amusement park.

We had a steamy adventure to Rocky Point State Park. We got up at the break of dawn to beat the heat and headed down to Rhode Island to explore the Park. We explored most of the grounds, including the entire waterfront, but did not traverse every inch of the park due to the warmth of the day. There were lovely wildflowers throughout, which is what caught my eye most on today’s adventure. I attempted to get the pups to wade in the water, but they were not having the very small waves, and would not enter close.

We found several information kiosks, pieces of the old amusement parks, and two beach areas. We stopped in the shade for a bit and Wilma enjoyed her rolls in the wet grass. The park was overall quiet, but we did see people exercising, walking dogs (all of which were on leash), and fishing. Unfortunately, my memory card filled, and I only could use my camera for part of the time, but my cell phone worked decently to finish up the day. However, looking back at these photographs, I wonder if there was some of the Canadian smoke creating a little haze over the day. The park was simple, but just the perfect adventure for a summer day. So glad we could visit Rocky Point State Park today (Rating: 4).
