The Blackstone River Bikeway stretches from Worcester, MA into Rhode Island and the southern end will eventually link to the popular East Bay Bike Path, making a continuous 31.9-mile (51.3-km) route for alternative transportation. In Rhode Island, you can embark at the River's Edge Recreation Complex in Woonsocket and head south through the towns of Cumberland and Lincoln, terminating just north of Valley Falls Heritage Park. A marked on-street route leads from the main path to a short segment in the Valley Falls park. Several other parking areas exist along the bikeway. In the village of Ashton, the Bikeway follows the route of the Blackstone Canal for 3 miles, mostly on top of the historic towpath. While at Ashton, visit the Captain Wilbur Kelly House Museum, a newly opened museum and visitor center adjacent to the Bikeway that offers free tours. While in Pawtucket visit the Slater Mill, the Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution and the Blackstone Valley Visitor Center. From here, one can follow city streets into Providence to make a connection with the popular East Bay Bikepath that travels 14.5 miles along Narragansett Bay to the historic waterfront community of Bristol.
