Green fields, vast views of the Bay, walking paths, picnic areas, outdoor chapel, beautiful sunsets over the water, thankfully restroom facilities. Great place to get away to for the day or just a few hours.
It is one of the parka where I love to go.Even though its a 30minuite drive from our home. But still I prefer to go to colt state parkHave done BBQ several timesPeaceful place one can spend 3-4hours very easily Highly recommended to everyone
The park is a wonderful mix of sea shore and wooded views. There are numerous picnic areas, some shaded, some out in the open. Many of these spots have charcoal grills available. There are paved and dirt trails that have some small hills, but the trails are mostly flat. The paved trail is in disrepair in some areas and needs some TLC. We use the trails mostly for walking and jogging. This is a great spot for an event as they have a large pavilion and running water in the bathrooms.
One of the most beautiful parks in Rhode Island! I have been coming here since I was a child Ride your bike, launch a boat, swim, fly a kite,get married in the Chapel ,go for a long walk or have a picnic,nice place to spend a day overlooking Narragansett Bay, no matter what you do.
Today (10/13/14) is the first time I've been to this park and now it won't be the last. A nice mix of picnic areas, bike paths, open fields ( with rock walls all around), and water views. I can imagine that it may get crowded in the summer but on this beautiful fall day there weren't a lot of people which made the park just a nice place to be. Before we left we drove around the park and we happened upon the park office which is and old large stable. What a beautiful piece of stone work. On last thing there were more than enough picnic tables all around the park.
The history of the area is intriguing... the barn complex, river waterfront, and bulls gate make for a great place to explore / picnic / bicycle/ fish.
Colt State Park is a gem in the beautiful seaside town of Bristol R I. Drive through the park and enjoy the beautiful views of Narragansett Bay. Enjoy a picnic at one of the many picnic areas that offer great views of the bay or the salt water Mill Pond. There are large open areas throughout the park for family gatherings, sports activities or flying a kite. Summer weekends can be very crowded so plan accordingly. One of my favorite places any time of the year.
When I arrived a group of people were walking a 5K within the park, which I found to be amazing at the size. I saw 3 Great White Egrets within the marsh. Plenty of seating along the shoreline. Nicely made walkways for walking, running, bicycling. Bathrooms were clean. Lots of picnic tables and grills. When leaving is when I saw a dirt path that headed into the trees for a different scenery, nice. Plenty of space for playing frisbee, soccer, etc, but I did visit after season. Bring your camera, leashed pets and picnic foods and relax. I wasn't charged an entrance fee. FYI: Signs are posted that state the park is under surveillance and to clean up after your dog.
Got to see loads of new England wild life and even some leaves changing. All free and great kite flying.
