The RiverWalk
Back to Top of List
Sometimes just being near the water can cool you down. The Providence RiverWalk gives you plenty of green space and walking paths for an easy stroll by the river. Or head to the Michael S. Van Leesten Pedestrian Bridge and 195 District Park, where there's always something happening. From The Guild PVD's beer garden and The Providence Flea to yoga in the park and tons of family fun, you'll find plenty to do and see as you enjoy the fresh air.
Providence River Boat Company
Back to Top of List
If you'd prefer to be on the water, check out the Providence River Boat Company. Take a narrated historical tour, including one hosted by Roger Williams himself, or relax on a Sip & See Providence Cruise. Whether you prefer a Brews Cruise with Narragansett Beer or Sunday morning mimosas, there's something for everyone. (Pro Tip: Pop into The Landing for a coffee or an ice cream treat before you go.) And, when the chill returns to the air, be sure to hop aboard a Haunted Boat Ride, with special guests from Providence Ghost Tours, just in time for spooky season!
La Gondola
Back to Top of List
For a taste of Venice with a touch of romance, you'll want to book a ride with La Gondola. Bring along a bottle of wine to enjoy as your personal gondolier regales you with a little history, a little culture and even a little singing under the bridges. For a truly memorable date night, plan your trip during a WaterFire lighting and let the flickering bonfires add to the atmosphere.
Providence Kayak Company
Back to Top of List
If you'd rather paddle at your own pace, get a rental from Providence Kayak Company. Choose from single or tandem kayaks and enjoy an afternoon on the river solo or with friends. Best of all, your favorite (leashed) pup can tag along. And if you're exploring a little farther afield, check out their second location in Lincoln Woods State Park.
