The Sakonnet Greenway Trail (SGT), which now includes the Little Creek Preserve loop, is the longest contiguous nature trail on Aquidneck Island at 10 miles long. The SGT is a true snapshot of inland Aquidneck Island. Users of the trail have the opportunity to view wildlife across meadows and woodlands as well as enjoy pastoral views of farms and agricultural landscapes. 

The trail passes by notable locations like The Glen in Portsmouth, Aquidneck Farms, Newport National Golf Club, Newport Vineyards, soccer fields on Wyatt Road, Albro Woods, and Little Creek Preserve. There are various parking locations throughout the 10 miles noted on the trail map. See the Sakonnet Greenway trail map and trail rules here or view the trail in the Aquidneck Land Trust's interactive property map.

The SGT is free and open to the public dawn to dusk. Please note dogs must be leashed and no bicycles or motorized vehicles are allowed. And please respect our neighbors and stay on the trail! While the trail is open all four seasons it is typically closed for a month in early spring around April-early May to prevent erosion during Mud Season.

The SGT is often used for hiking, running, dog walking, wildlife viewing, and horseback riding (see map for sections that allow horses). In the winter, users often snowshoe and cross-country ski. The trail runs along the Sakonnet Greenway habitat corridor, and passes through several natural community types, making it a wonderful outdoor classroom for students and adults alike.
