This wooded and watery corner of New England has become, in the latter part of this century, a veritable paradise of recreational opportunities, offering boating, beaching, birding, and - unknown to many before Ken Weber's books came on the scene - wonderful walking. Through his columns in the "Providence Journal" and his books, including the recently published companion volume to this one, "More Walks and Rambles in Rhode Island," Ken has educated Rhode Islanders to the joys of this gentle sport. This second edition has been thoroughly updated by the author - almost half the walks have been substantially revised. Each of the 40 walks includes a map, hiking times and distances, an overview of the special features of the walk and its level of difficulty, directions on getting to the trailhead, and a two - to three-page description. There is also tremendous diversity to these 40 outings: one can choose from beach walks, woods walks, wetlands walks, and even island walks. Many of them, moreover, are suitable for families with children.
