Whales Rock trail

Distance: 2 Miles Roundtrip

Difficulty: Easy

No Dogs Allowed

Located near Narragansett, Rhode Island is a beautiful easy hike through the woods to sweeping ocean views.

To access the trailhead navigate to 33 Cormorant Road South Kingston RI. The parking lot is down this driveway, which is hidden from the main road. There is an entrance to a National Guard Property and the driveway is off to the left. Drive down the driveway and there is a small parking lot on your right.

Follow the dirt driveway past a private residence to a grass path that leads into the woods and onto some boardwalks.

Much of the trail follows a large fence for the National Guard property. If you have young children use caution as there are many old pole holes in the ground on the trail with rough edges that could hurt if fallen on.

After walking the boardwalks and through the woods, the trail opens up to beautiful ocean views.

Walk along the edge of the ocean and fence line for more beautiful views. The trails comes to an end at a sign and a small beach you can explore on.

It is one mile to the beach. From here you turn around and return to the parking lot. This is an easy and beautiful trail. I am not sure I would recommend this trail for young kids just starting out hiking due to the old pole holes in the middle of the trail and risk if injury if they fall on them.
