Our family has enjoyed taking our grandchildren to Colt State Park to walk, ride their bikes, swim, and picnic. The park does need better men and women's facilities, however. It is a wonderful area to enjoy the ocean breezes as you walk along the shoreline in safety.

Colt State Park is a beautiful place to drive by the bay. We parked in the last parking lot and walked down a trail to a beach. Beautiful day in Bristol, RI.

Huge open spaces, grass, bay, what more could you want? We came just after sunset, though there was some left of it to appreciate. Late April was early enough in the year that it wasn't crawling with people yet, so it was a relaxing end to a busy day.

We went to the park on a Wednesday morning, so there weren't many people. Great place to walk and bird watch. Wear comfortable shoes and a light windbreaker.

This place is simply breathtaking. Great place for a picnic and a barbecue. You can sit on the rocks and watch boats and birds and people fishing. There are a lot of benches and tables under the trees for visitors to sit too. If you are a nature lover or just simply looking to unwind, this is the place for... More

Having the addition of water views lets this park trump many others. It always seems to be tiday and well kept.
