Got your bucket list handy? If not, pull it out and add rail biking in Rhode Island straight to the top of it. It's one of the most unique and fun ways to see Rhode Island's beauty, both natural and man-made. Even better? Rail biking promises a relaxing adventure, and you won't exert too much energy on your journey.
Gear up for a one-of-a-kind rail biking adventure with Rail Explorers USA. You'll find its Rhode Island location in Portsmouth.
The concept of rail biking is pretty straightforward. Bikes are specially designed to ride along railroad tracks with each rider pedaling to help propel the bike.
One rider usually controlls the brake.
You won't exert too much energy as the rail bikes usually travel around 25 miles per hour or less. However, you'll be too busy drinking in the gorgeous scenery around you to pay attention to much else.
Rail Explorers USA offers a variety of tours, so you'll likely want to return again and again.
Carve out at least 1.5 hours for your tour along the Northern Ramble, a six-mile journey that passes a variety of landscape - from coastal woodland to the Audubon Society Nature Preserve.
The Southern Circuit also travels six miles. Your trek includes a stop at Bayside Station, where you can relax and have a picnic. Just bring a cooler and your favorite foods along.
Nothing compares to a Rhode Island sunset, which makes the Sunset Tour an absolute must.
Don't forget a package of marshmallows if you opt for the Fireside Tour. The two-hour journey will take you to Bayside Station, where you'll relax by the fire, and back.
