Review & FAQ:

Located along Route 6 in Johnston, Rhode Island, Snake Den State Park boasts 1,000 acres undeveloped property. A combination of farmland and woodland is home to rustic walking trails, beautiful trees, plants, and flowers. During fall season the foliage is breathtaking.

A succession of families owned the farm before the state acquired the property in 1969. The headquarters for the Parks and Recreation Division is now located within the original, 22-room farmhouse.

Snake Den itself is a canyon-like stone fissure. The stone outcrop was once quarried for building material used to construct the city of Providence. Visitors to the park will enjoy hiking, exploring, bird watching, and bow hunting.
