This park has wide dirt paths. It is a little hilly. I have never seen it crowded. Dogs are allowed, but not their poop. Many dog owners seem to ignore that rule. As with any wooded area, spray for ticks...no matter what time of year. Skip this place in hot summer as it is filled with mosquitoes. In the Fall, the crisp smell of the changing seasons, the brilliance of the changing color of the leaves and if you listen carefully you can hear the ocean which is about 1 mile away

This place is prime for any ocean view venue in the heart of Narragansett. We came in December for the Christmas cocktail caberet and it was elegant and perfect

These two lighthouses stand watch over tiny Block Island, scene of 59 ship wrecks in the early 1800s.
Reviewed By AlexB10499 - Providence, United States
The Block Island Southeast Light is a National Historic Landmark, an island icon, and a success story of historic preservation in New England. This beautiful 1875 Gothic-style brick building sits atop the Mohegan Bluffs, an even more beautiful natural setting, where it shines its light out for dozens of miles over the sea. By the 1990s, the cliffs had eroded so far back that they threatened the building, so the entire structure was moved 300 feet back to ensure its preservation. Today it houses a museum and allows people to climb to the top of its tower, and its wide green lawn invites people to relax and picnic. As of summer 2019 the exterior of the tower is being renovated; work will proceed to the interior once that work is finished.
