It does not matter that it is closed, people will come anyhow and do what ever they want, good or bad, b/c there is noone to police their activities. This is a nice place when the riff raff is not there. The riff raff caught wind of it and now it's being taken over by ignorant people. Everyone has a right to enjoy the place, but we should be considerate of others and respect the natural environment. Instead, these people leave their trash. They leave hookah tips, grills, dump.out grease, dump charcoal out, they leave socks, bras, clothing, toys, empty cups, styrofoam coolers full of empty beer bottles, condoms, and fishing garbage behind. Every Monday, it's as though a bunch of ferrel animals came and shit on the place and left their smelly, disgusting mess behind. So, the downfall is that people are so ignorant. They come, they are inconsiderate, they blast their music, they drink and smoke, and basically break every rule there is. They have no regard for the wildlife. I saw a guy on his jet ski run into a family of ducks as he was trying to show off in a no wake zone! Try fishing off the shore with that awhole around. Also, the bathrooms are not open and so they must go in the water or the woods. I find a lot of tissues on the ground at the edge of the woods. Some people take their trash and throw it in the woods down the embankments. Only uncivilized and inconsiderate people do things like that and unfortunately, they found out about Georgiaville Pond. It is a crying shame. The cops try to come often and there is a security detail that checks in there, but it doesn't matter. These low class people still manage to beat the system.

Beautiful Compact Off…read morethe beaten path I stumbled upon the existence of this spot on the visitrhodeisland Instagram page, having never heard of it previously. As a family, we gave it a shot for a what-the-heck hike, and all four of us fell immediately in love. Mowry really, REALLY dials up curb appeal right off the bat. Wandering down from the road into the conservation area, you're greeted by a large rock outcropping over a pristine rushing brook, covered by a nice pedestrian bridge - combined, it's a very halcyon scene, and gorgeous. Beyond lie two short hiking trails: red is ~0.5 miles and yellow is ~0.75 miles, and they connect so you can have a short jaunt or a longer one. There's some mild elevation change, but all very manageable in sneakers - all beginner-friendly or dog-walk appropriate. A little gem nestled in north central RI, this one deserves your attention for its natural beauty and serene wall ability. Highest recommendation.

Decent ups and downs that made it feel like I was getting some exercise in. Cute little bridge. I would give it five stars if it were longer - but that's not the fault of the trail I guess: we just ended up looping and it got repetitive.

Great hike close to PVD - also a great overlook of the city in the distance! My husband and I hiked…read moreabout 2 miles here. The different trails intersect frequently, which means you can really make a hike however long you'd like. There was a QR code to scan to get the trail map where we started our hike. Everything was well marked and well maintained. There was also a small boardwalk area to keep you out of a swampy area. Parking was a bit confusing. We parked in the Carltons Trail cul de sac which had both "parking for trail" and "no parking" signs on the same pole. We took the risk and parked because the "no parking" sign looked a little less official. The leaves had just come down from the trees, which made the path difficult to navigate at some points; we kept tripping over rocks on the path that you couldn't see. I may reserve this hike more for spring and summer for this reason!

This is a tough series of trails!…read more Ninety percent of the hike is littered with rocks and roots - mostly rocks. This is entirely on a hill with steep grade changes starting at the very beginning. I gave only 4 stars because there are not enough flashes and there are many side trails not flashed or on a map. There are some amazing rock formations, but not enough to thrill me as the hike was too mentally taxing for a Sunday hike. Be sure to wear serious hiking boots, trekking poles, water and snacks. Trekking poles are an absolute must to help with balance and navigation through the rocky grades. I was guided by the Kostrzewa book, but needed a topo map for actual guidance. I will suggest that for anyone else. I can check this hike off my list of Rhode Island trails. I won't return.

One of my favorite weekend walking or short hiking spots…read more They also have a big pond/lake with a small sandy beach that has a lifeguard in the summer. It's very kid friendly and there are tons of families there in a warm day. By the beach there are restrooms, picnic tables and a cafe that serves snacks, fast food and ice cream. You can walk a loop around the water which is very scenic and relatively easy on a paved road. Or you can venture off the road onto the many hiking and mountain biking trails that run through the woods. Bring decent shoes for this as the trails are relatively short but can be steep, rocky and muddy at times. It's beautiful and peaceful but also there are enough people out that a single woman alone could feel safe. Lots of people bring their dogs for walks here. There are also picnic spots with grills and areas where you can boulder and rock climb. Truly a lovely park that has something for everyone!

That said, as a life long RI-er this was one of those places that had been on my 'to-do' list for some time and I finally got around to getting there. Very mixed feelings. First, the amount of dogs off-leash is astounding. There was even one that came charging at me and I drew my pepper spray to prepare to use it, and the owner started freaking out at me. Luckly the dog stopped before I had to. The amount of landmines on the trails and road was absurd as well. It may very well be a nice place to walk and recreate, but if I have to consistently keep my head on a swivel for charging dogs and landmines then its not really worth it for me. That said, there are plenty of nice views and scenery. One could easily spend an entire day here just exploring and milling about. There's even a cemetery in the park as well, if you're into historical sites. So if you don't mind off leash dogs and have to watch every step you may still get some enjoyment out of it.

There is also a sign that has the length of each of the different walking paths they have which is really convenient.

The park was named for George Corliss who invented the Corliss steam invention in the 1850s. A steam engine factory once stood a few blocks away where Home Depot currently resides. In addition to the 0.3 mile walking path, Corliss Park contains a playground, ball fields, handball court, tennis courts, basketball courts, new outdoor fitness equipment, and a community garden. I have been here a few times walking on the easy wooded path, relaxing in the area. Very shady in the summer time. The RIPTA 50 bus stops one block away from the park near the corner of Douglas Avenue and Corina Street.
