In Rhode Island the primary hunting seasons typically run from the second Saturday in September to the last day of February and from the third Saturday in April to the last day in May, however this can vary from year to year and depends on what game is being hunted. During hunting season you should wear at least 200 square inches (a hat OR a vest) of blaze orange. During shotgun deer season, which is typically in December, you should wear at least 500 square inches of blaze orange (a hat AND a vest). For more information see the RI DEM website.
Miantonomi Park is a 30-acre city park in Newport. The park includes wooded trails with a historic WWI Memorial Tower at the top of a hill, the highest point in Newport. While in the middle of the densely developed North End of Newport, the park is a great spot for spring birding during migration. The tower is occasionally open in the summer for visitors to climb for excellent views of Newport. The site is an important historic location: it was a meeting place of American Indians and served as a lookout during the American Revolution. Remnants of earthen redoubts can still be seen along the trails. The park also includes a picnic area, playground, and large open field along Hillside Ave.
