The Ocean State is filled with beautiful places that feel like they're straight out of a dream. While some of these are well known, such as the beaches, others are left strictly to the locals that know about their existence. These are the places that when you're finally made aware of them, you wonder how it could've possibly taken you this long to discover them. Here is one nature area in the state that feels like a small slice of paradise.
In the small town of Hopkinton lies a beautiful pair of ponds known as Long and Ell Ponds.
These gorgeous sites can be visited through a series of interconnected trails that total just over one mile.
The forested area possesses many gorgeous wonders scattered across the trails.
In addition to the stunning scenic views looking out over the ponds, this area is an ideal place to enjoy the changes in foliage throughout the year.
The rich diversity in plants and wildlife is unmatched.
No matter the vantage point, the views are breathtaking.
