UPDATE: You have more time to get your walking shoes ready! Due to the forecast, we’ve changed this event to occur on Wednesday, April 20. Hope you can join us!
Join Rhode Island DEM/State Parks at Rhode Island’s first state park, Lincoln Woods, to celebrate
#NationalWalking Day
!
The 2.5-mile walk will begin near the beach pavilion (look for signs). Plenty of parking is available and the walking loop is on a paved pathway. The event is for all ages and physical abilities. Leashed dogs
are allowed as long as the leash is no longer than six feet. Children must be always accompanied by an adult. The walk is wheelchair accessible
and stroller friendly. The walk will be rain or shine so dress accordingly! This might be a great opportunity to show off your best umbrella
and duck boots
.
This is the first event of a new DEM-wide initiative encouraging people to visit RI’s natural areas and state parks as part of an active and healthy lifestyle. Divisions across DEM’s Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Bureaus will be on hand offering information about agency programs and services.
