The natural beauty of the Ocean State sets the stage for bicycle enthusiasts and East Bay Bike Path is a local favorite.

Stretching 15 scenic miles from Providence to Bristol, the path parallels Providence Harbor and Upper Narragansett Bay. The paved bikeway passes through seaside villages, picture-perfect parks and coastal marshes and ponds.

The paved path is 10 feet wide with four-foot shoulders. It is designed exclusively for walkers and bicycles.

The bike path's northern tip will eventually link to the Blackstone Bikeway presently under construction.
