Burlingame State Park, Rhode Island

Burlingame State Park, with its picture perfect pond, wooded shores, and trails galore, could be the setting for your favorite all-American summer camp movie. Surrounding beautiful Watchaug Pond, there is a camping area and 29-acre wildlife sanctuary (perfect for birders!). Beneath the blue, you’ll find a solid stock of largemouth bass that can be reached via convenient boat ramps. Hang out on the fresh water beach, or make a pit stop at Dave’s Coffee just up road the and drive 10 minutes to some of RI’s prettiest oceanfront spots. Booze is banned here, so be sure to pack some Solo cups and keep the liquid contraband on the DL.
