About this Location

The Neutaconkanut Hill Park is known for the Neutaconkanut Hill which provides a beautiful view of Downtown Providence. The Hill is the highest point in Providence (Elevation: 296 feet above sea level). From the hilltop meadow and from several hiking trails there are spectacular views of the City and nearly a quarter of the State. In all seasons, the beauty of this 88-acre woodland is a classroom-in-nature. The forested woodlands, with several miles of hiking/walking trails, provide a panorama of picturesque stone walls, unique geological formations, natural springs and brooks, wildflowers, and berries. There is ample parking in the recreation area parking lots. The trails can be somewhat rough and in some areas steep.
