Lincoln Woods State Park is a nice spot to go and bike, hike, play games, whatever you like. The Park itself is mostly centered around one large pond and has a 5 mile road that goes around it. About half the loop is one-way, leaving the other side exclusively for biking, walking, etc. The other side where there is two-way traffic can be a bit dangerous to walk with young kids though, so be careful. People travel a bit too fast around those turns to make me feel very safe at points. There is a public use beach and parking for it, as well as sites you can get (for a small fee, we paid only $5 for the day). These make great picnic space and a spot for meeting up with people. There is a boat ramp and horseback riding trails, though I have not looked in to those personally.

Great multi-use green space only 12 min outside of Providence. 627 acres, most people stay within a few feet of the roads. Theres Olney pond in the center, with a beach, snack shop, and in summer EMS kayak rentals nearby. Ballfields and plenty of picnic areas too. The woods on the other side of the road from the pond are mostly the domain of dog walkers and mountain bikers. (with horses from nearby stable in a designated section) There arent any markings on trails in this area but dont be afraid to venture in... since youll run outta park before you get too lost and theres lots of beautiful stuff in there. Oh also, lots of bouldering, and theres a rumor this is where bouldering started in the US.

I adore this park for its exceptionally litter-free, large and unadulterated landscape. Whenever I visit for an escape, its always pleasant in that there are always areas available which are secluded from the other visitors. Theres space for everyone to get away from the busier areas of Rhode Island. There are picnic tables available along with fire pits and places for barbequing/grilling. An unobtrusive road winds through which is good for biking, but its also possible to ride fairly easily on the actual woodland paths as well. Im pleased with the nearly pristine walkways (one of which runs along the lake with nice views) and the charming variety of trees and plants. Highly recommended.

Lincoln state wood park has something for everyone. Great place to spend your day. If you are a fitness lover, you can run around a 2.5 mile lap that has a great topography including running around a pond. If you love kayaking, plenty of water to Kayak with minimal of disturbance. Fishing aint that bad either. If you love to hike trails, there are a few trails that may not be amongst the best but nice for a neighborhood park. There is a field for picnic and all kind of sports. Beach is also good though living in RI spoils you when it comes to rating beaches. Plenty of picnic areas. If you just want to do sightseeing, you can just drive around the park. Great place.

Absolutely stupid rules. Not small children friendly: lifeguards blow whistles because arm floaties, pool noodles and life jackets are not allowed. The snack shack is overpriced and had me wait ten minutes for their credit card machine to turn on just to tell me that theres a minimum of $10... Apparently buying a $6 ice cream and $3.50 piece of corn is not enough. Not to mention the attitude if you try to order something without a food youre allergic to on it. Rude people, rude staff and an awful time.

Super crowded beach. Not very relaxing as an adult but probably a nice place to bring kids. There was a huge swimming spit everyone kept trying to swim in...because it was too crowded but they kept sending peopke over to say foljs couldnt swim there. For all the effort it took to keep people out maybe they could have put another lifegaurd so people could swim without having other people on top of you. They also made an announcement at 530 saying all bathrooms would be closed.

Great place to go for a walk or run around the loop road around the lake. Its got a number of picnic sites as well and some wooded paths/trails to walk. There are plenty of good fishing spots as well. The beach is...ok...sometimes. Bus service runs from the cities to the beach in the summer so the beach gets very crowded and being a relatively small swimming area there have been health issues with the water in the past.

Ive only been here once looking for a place to hike. The trail I took was almost entirely paved been pretty flat so it was more of a walking trail. There was still some pretty nice views though. I was not there during peak season but there looked like there was a little Beach area. Looking at a map there does appear to be some more wooded trails but I was unable to locate the trailhead the day I was there.

Park has some great hiking trails. Scenery is amazing. The lake has beach access for swimming and fishing areas spread around the park. The beach isnt the biggest and can fill up quick but it is usually pretty clean. They recently renovated the beach area, pavilion, and parking lot. Park offers boat rentals. Havent got to try the boats yet but hope too soon.

Love walking around the park. We walk almost three times per week. I love the scenery, shade and sun along Olney Pond. I really wish some sort of speed control and poop patrol was in place though. Thats the only reason they didnt get a 5-start rating was the speeding by cars above the 20mph and dog owners leaving poop bags on the side of the roadway

Great place to go to walk around and experience nature. There are plenty of good boulders for rock climbing scenery is beautiful. Only downside is that the main walking path is shared with cars, and people dont seem to pick up after their dogs. They will go to the extent of placing it in a bag, but leave that bag on the side of the walking paths

We had a family outing there. Very clean. The camp sites are great. The main building near the beach was still under construction so the bathrooms are the portable type -1. Park Rangers keep a good watch on their guests. We saw a slight problem (safety) and within two minutes a ranger was there. I will recommend this to all my friends.

Great park for a variety of activities. This park is easily accessible, has great walking and hiking trails, is good for bouldering, and is pet friendly. The picnic tables are supposed to be by reservation, but are usually available without one - you just may have to move. Also has a beach area with swimming and fields for various sports.

This park is so big and theres so much for people of all ages to do. Between the little beach (with showers too), the nature walks and frog hunting with the park rangers to hiking the trails, fishing, and kayaking plus much more! Whatever the season theres always a reason to head to Lincoln Woods State Park :)
