ONeill Bike Path (a.k.a. South County Bike Path) follows the route of the former Narragansett Pier Railroad, which connected the coastal village of South Kingston with the Narragansett Pier.

Locals affectionately called these unique buses Mickey-Dinks, after two of the drivers.Starting from the newly restored Kingston Station (home to the Rhode Island Railroad Museum; open weekends), this 6.1-mile bike path traverses the Great Swamp Wildlife Management Area. Particularly in the spring and fall, youll encounter flocks of migratory birds. Just beyond Curtis Corner Middle School, foot- paths on either side of the trail lead to Tri-Ponds Park, which features three ponds, streams, 2 miles of nature trails, resident wildlife, and a nature center. Continuing on the bike path, youll wind through the quaint towns of Peace Dale and Wake eld, both rich in historical landmarks.
