My husband and I have gotten into visiting state high points. We'll probably never hit them all because we're not into mountaineering, but it's still a fun side jaunt to do while on vacation. The highest point in Rhode Island is shortly over the border of Connecticut/Rhode Island. It's only 812 feet. You park in a small dirt lot across the street from the trail. It's only about a 5 minute walk to the highest point. It took us longer to find the trail than it did to actually walk the trail. At the highest point, they have a logbook, a geological marker, Japanese prayer flags and a rock statue.

I live near Jerimoth Hill and lov e to tell people the story of the Hill. Even though it's the highest point in RI, it's the lowest highpoint in all 50 states....but for years it was the toughest one to get to!!!

The state with the next highest high point is mountainous Illinois. That should give you a hint about how intense of a hike you will have on the out and back Jerimoth Hill hike. You will sweat buckets but worth it for the view of some of Rhode Island's loveliest trees. There were also some Nepali prayer flags because this climb is probably the best possible training for ascending Everest!

There's no view, there are 2 summit plates & the trail is just short & pathetic stuck between 2 yards. I'm glad I did it just to say I bagged the highest summit in Rhode Island but other than that, its just aweful. If you wanna bag the highest state sumit then you have no choice but to do it but if your looking for an outing, travel either west to the berkshires or north to the blue hills.

It's funny that you can hike up boulders gaining hundreds of feet of elevation to reach a high point that is devoid of marker or sign-in log, and then visit a high point like Jerimoth Hill that celebrates your 500 yard walk through a park like you have summited everest! I think we counted 5 or 6 trail markers on our 5 minute stroll through a pine needle cushioned trail shaded by trees. Have fun bagging this High Point.

Well maintained. Was easy enough to get to the peak. The road you have to cross is a bit hazardous as you are top of a hill and unable to see either side. Really enjoyed this little jaunt.

I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it was really fun and easy for me and my little ones to walk the 200 yards to this Rhode Island high point. Yes, walk. This is not a hike. There is no incline. It's a pleasant stroll through a wooded area to a couple little boulders that mark the high point. We took a picnic and sat on the rocks and ate. There is a little bit of parking on the side of the road and a small sign that points to Jerimoth Hill so you know where to start walking. I actually really liked it, but you'll complete the round trip in 10 minutes so don't be thinking it's something it's not!

Nothing to write home about but it is the highest spot in Rhode Island- tiny walk in and no view and a small book encased in a tin to sign- short walk from the parking on rte 101

about 25 years ago i attempted to climb it but was thwarted by landowners who said they'd call the state police if i didn't turn back since it was private property. is it ok to try it again. apparently the state took it over somehow. i need to do this and go to the tri-state marker in east thompson, ct which also has eluded me. couldn't find it but finally have tracked it down.
