Jerimoth Hill Trail

The Jerimoth Hill Trail in Foster, Rhode Island is an easy 0.3-mile out-and-back hike that leads to Rhode Island's highest point atop Jerimoth Hill's summit and features two survey markers, a trail registry, and a small bedrock outcropping.

Hike Description
This short hike begins along RH-101 (Hartford Pike) near the parking coordinates provided and follows the well-defined trail south toward the summit of Jerimoth Hill. The trail starts by passing some very old and very tall rhododendrons located just beyond the trailhead gate. Following the "Jerimoth Hill" signs heading south, hikers will pass a U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey marker around mile 0.07 and then another around mile 0.09 - the 2nd survey marker appears to be the "summit" marker. Hikers can continue down the trail a bit further to find a trail registry box tied to a tree sitting adjacent to a small bedrock outcropping where hikers have built small stone cairns on top. Here is where the hike ends - hikers can sign the trail registry, hop on the bedrock outcropping, or poke around the abandoned shacks and utility sheds that sit near the rocky outcropping.

Parking
Hikers will find parking on either side of RH-101 near the coordinates provided. There's enough parking for several vehicles on either side of the road.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and must be cleaned up after.
