Finding Things To Do In Kent County

Recreation & Activities in Coventry

Much like it’s neighboring towns in Kent County, Coventry offers a wide range of outdoor activities. The biggest attraction is the “Trestle Trail” or Washington Secondary Bike Path. This 19-mile bike path stretches from Cranston to the edges of Coventry and nearby Connecticut. Walkers and wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy this picturesque facility, which is easily accessed and provides a great location for casual exercise throughout the year.

One very popular area to buy a home in Coventry (and visit for recreation activities) is Johnson’s Pond. At 659 acres of fresh water, with an average depth of 19 ft., it’s one of RI’s best spots for swimming, fishing, and more.
