Rhode Island may be the smallest state but it is packed with things to do and see. With countless miles of bike paths, more than a hundred public and private beaches at your bare feet, and the sparkling playground of Narragansett Bay, all part of a state that's more than 60% woodlands. Then there's kayaking, canoeing, and fly fishing. And, no trip to Rhode Island is complete without going to Newport to tour the city's enormous mansions and have a bite to eat at the historic White Horse Tavern, built in 1673.
