High quality bouldering on sharply-textured granite awaits urban adventurers in Lincoln Woods State Park, a few miles north of Providence, R.I. It is entirely fitting that Little Rhody's best climbing is on the small stones. Biking and walking trails link clusters of boulders, set among picnic areas and ponds. The climbing season extends deep into winter here, when sunny days in the 20s and 30s invite beanie-headed pebble wrestlers to enjoy killer friction with handwarmers simmering in chalkbags and wool socks stuffed in pockets.
Be aware that Lincoln Woods is closed at dusk and that nighttime climbing is not permitted.
As well as the information here, there is paperback guidebook by Joe M, and a more recent guide by Dana Seaton available through the Gunks+ app.
