Rivers mills and ivy The Pawtuxet River Trail is a short trail that goes along the Pawtuxet River. You can maybe get two and a half miles with a round trip from this trial. Possible more, depending on how lost you get at the south part. The trail is well marked if you park at the famous banquet hall, Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. The trail then just follows the river until you get to Dallas Ave or perhaps if you get creative you can make it to Warwick Ave. The trail is narrow and over grown with all kinds of very healthy poison ivy, thorns and bushes. Lots of mosquitoes and ticks love this area and the river itself looks less than clean. You pass some old and abandoned mill type places and get to see some debris left over from another time. It’s difficult to really know where this trail exactly stops because if you cut through parking lots you can find other section of trails along the water. Certainly not the most scenic trail and probably a place I wouldn’t want to be a night. I doubt it gets much traffic because parts are almost impassable because of the poison ivy and thorns. It might be one of those places that looks a whole lot better frozen, when the ice and snow covers most of it. During the summer it is probably best left to the ticks and flies.
