Summers in Rhode Island are pretty magical. However, most of us wait all year for fall's arrival. New England is internationally known for its vibrant fall foliage, and our state has some fantastic autumn destinations. These seven spots are some of the best places to visit in Rhode Island in the fall, so be sure to carve out some time this season to see them all!

1. Roger Williams Park (Providence)

Roger Williams Park is massive, offering more than 435 acres of land filled with ponds, a rolling landscape, trees, and a rose garden. Not only is it listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but visiting happens to be one of the best things to do in Rhode Island in the fall.

2. Slater Mill Museum (Pawtucket)

Slater Mill is a National Historic Landmark with a history dating back to 1793. And this historic textile mill looks fantastic with fall foliage as its backdrop. The Slater Mill was the first successful cotton-spinning factory in the United States, so it's a great place to go to learn more about our local history.

3. Diamond Hill Vineyards (Cumberland)

The Diamond Hill Vineyards property is absolutely gorgeous. And it's an especially stunning place to visit in Rhode Island in the fall. And while sipping wine surrounded by beautiful scenery is the perfect way to spend an afternoon, give the business a call before you go -- just to make sure there's a tasting/tour available on the day you'd like to visit.

4. Newport Cliff Walk

Do we ever need an excuse to go to Newport Cliff Walk? This magnificent trail is stunning in any season. But if you've ever walked it in early October, you know just how special it is in the autumn. Not only is it one of the most popular things to do in fall in Rhode Island but it was also recently named one of the most beautiful places in the entire estate, and we'd have to agree!

5. George B. Parker Woodland (Coventry)

Check out one of the many trails at the George B. Parker Woodland Wildlife Refuge. The 860-acre property is full of rugged terrain and wooded trails, and it's a perfect place to go for an autumn hike.

6. Arcadia Management Area

Arcadia is Rhode Island's largest recreation area, by far. Spanning 14,000 acres, it's full of diverse landscapes and, in October, breathtaking fall foliage.

7. Goddard Memorial State Park (Warwick)

Goddard Park attracts thousands of visitors each year. And while many of them go in the summer, this is also one of the best places to visit in Rhode Island in the fall.
