6 Picture Perfect Leaf-Peeping Spots For Paparazzi
Monday, October 25, 2010
1. Lincoln Woods in Blackstone Valley
This 627-acre park just outside of Providence includes all of picturesque Olney Pond and plenty of leaf-covered paths to wander. Be sure to take in Slater Mill for a shot of quintessenital New England.
2. Rt. 77 Tiverton/Little Compton
We suggested this bucolic country road as one of our http://www.golocalprov.com/lifestyle/10-things-to-do-this-fall/">10 Things to Do This Fall guide, but this time of year, the experience is even more extraordinary. Photographer James Clayton Sattel said, “I get some good colors visiting roadside stands, pumpkin fields and farms,” and this stretch along the Sakonnet Peninsula has no shortage of any of the three.

4. Conanicut Island
With landscapes as diversified as farmland and marshes to lighthouses and wildlife preserves, shooting in Jamestown may just fill up your memory card. Dissect the island with a journey down pastoral North Road and circle around East Main Road for views of Potter Cove. Take in the small-town feel of Narragansett Avenue and journey out to Mackerel Cove, Fort Getty and the southernmost tip of the island--Beavertail State Park and the lighthouse.
5. Wilcox Park, Westerly
"The people shall have a park," declared Harriet Wilcox in 1898, as so it was. This time of year, the tree-lined park in the heart of Westerly's business district is a charmingly Rockwellian landscape with Japanese maples, Red Horsechestnuts and Witch hazels all showing fall at its finest.
6. Arcadia Management Area, Exeter
Rhode Island’s largest protected area, Arcadia welcomes bikers, hikers and walkers to check out its myriad habitats including deciduous forest, swamps, shrub wetlands, marshes, and open bodies of water. A nearly 7-mile trail weaves through some of the most striking milieus in Southern New England.
