Blackstone River Bikeway — This 48-mile bikeway will eventually connect Providence, Rhode Island, to Worcester, Massachusetts. This recreational/alternative transportation facility links 15 "Preserve America" municipalities along the Blackstone River, an American Heritage river, and is in the center of the National Park Service's "John H. Chafee Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor." With 9 miles of the trail already completed, this diverse partnership is making significant progress towards revitalizing the riverfront and connecting different communities. In addition to its scenic features, trail users can enjoy recreational activities such as biking, horseback riding, and boating (designated 2005).
