State is apparently working on plans for finishing trail- probably finished in like 2014? Is planned to be Horse/Bike combo eventually. For riders: Watch the missing bridges/bridge segments here/there! Lots of "moguls" near stump pond, wet near 102 crossing. Town/Audubon have been actively protecting the land along the trail so it won't be developed- that is good!

I'm working my way from Cranston to CT boarder. I'm about 7.25 miles from ct boarder. (round trips so it 14.5 from my goal!) The section I'm on near stump pond is nonestop whoops section. (bunny hops, rhythm section, ect..) It doesn't look like it ends anytime soon. Watch the bridges!!!!! the one near stump pond is missing 2-3 feet off one end!

This trail is actually part of the greenway which extends in both directions. I have taken the greenway from Trestle Trail all the way to providence. It might not be hard riding, but its relaxing. The greenway is a little rough at first but once past west warwick, it becomes nice and paved. Then stops somewhere around providence.
