ロードアイランドでののおすすめグラベルライド

Circle 'C' Campground has both pine-shaded and grassy open campsites with water and electric hookups. Hikers can choose tent camping or rustic cabin rentals and have access to restrooms. The campground also offers a playground, a mini convenience store, and a recreation hall. There is also access to Bailey Pond, where visitors can launch or rent boats for bass fishing or take a swim in the smaller spring-fed pond. This campground is a mile detour off of the North-South Trail, but as dispersed camping is not allowed in the area, it's a great option for legal camping.

As you hike the North-South Trail, you’ll pass Borders Farm, a historic 200+ acre working farm preserved by a local nonprofit. Volunteers maintain the land, trails, and educational programs to keep the farm accessible to the community.

The Quaddick Reservoir, spanning over 400 acres, is a man-made body of water that was once frequented by the Nipmuck Indians for fishing. It was formed by damming the Five Mile River. During the fall, this area becomes stunning as the trees change colors.

Experience breathtaking views of the Quaddick Reservoir along this scenic route. The autumn foliage accentuates the beauty, with tree-lined roads making it the quintessential New England ride!

As you make your way across the bridge you will see Grosvenordale Mills located on the banks of the French River. It's a nice place for a stop!

At Cargill Falls, you'll find a dam and cascades right in the heart of the city. From the Pomfret Bridge on US-44, you can see the wide dam and several flowing channels clearly. An island splits the Quinebaug River and the dam, creating a beautiful display of cascades below as the river rushes to reconnect.

Originally this area was designated to be a reservoir in order to provide drinking water for the area. For whatever reason these plans never came to fruition and the 8,300-acre site has seen hikers, bikers, and motocross riders create dozens of trails around the forest, rivers, and ponds. Take your pick of trails but be sure to have your map downloaded since it's easy to get turned around with all the crisscrossing trails.

This is a great spot for families, as Frosty Hollow Pond is a kids-only, trout-stocked pond. There's a parking area next to it, and it can also be a nice place to sit by the pond while having a snack.
