About Rocky Point State Park

Rocky Point State Park is a quiet coastal park on Narragansett Bay in Warwick. The land welcomed visitors for more than 150 years, with earlier uses including trails, a ferry pier, hotels, and rides. The state reopened it in 2014 as a passive-use park, so visitors are asked to follow preservation guidelines. Activities include bicycling, hiking, birding, saltwater fishing, picnicking, and walking, and there is an accessible fishing pier. A relocated arch from the 1964 World's Fair stands on the grounds. The park follows a carry-in, carry-out policy.
