At 811 feet above sea level, Rhode Island comes in with the 4th lowest highpoint, yet the tallest of the correctly labeled Hills, under 1,000 feet, in the US just 5 feet above Woodall Mountain in Mississippi. Located on State Highway 101, Hartford Pike, just outside of Foster, the highpoint is within 2 miles of the Connecticut border but less than 20 miles to the state's Capitol; however, everything is close in Rhode Island. There are easier highpoints to reach, but at 0.3 miles round trip across the ridge, this is very reachable. As some have said, the hardest thing about the hike is finding the trailhead; however, the state has good signage and expanded shoulder parking on the crest of the ridge, just be careful crossing the road if you must. We hiked it on Labor Day morning. This was the first time I have ever stepped foot in Rhode Island, and I wanted to do hike in the woods that had some meaning to the state. While not the longest or the hardest trail, it is a nice trail through a pine canopy to a set of rocks that protrude higher than the surrounding ground. You won't really have a view from the rocks in the woods. However, this is a hill with a view when the trees are removed. You will notice that at the road when looking west into Connecticut and I have included the picture. Also driving to the hill from Providence you will notice the prominence on the hill to its flatter surroundings further east. All is all, it is an easy and enjoyable thing to do in Rhode Island that has such significance to the state.

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
