Climbing the Highpoint Trail
From Foster, Rhode Island, take Route 101 to a small pullout on the south side of the road. A short path through the woods leads to the summit marker. Formerly this was one of the most difficult highpoints to access due to private property restrictions, but it is now generally open to the public. Respect any signage and neighbors in the area. The actual high point is slightly off the trail among the trees. A quick 10-20 minute visit. No facilities available. One of the lowest and easiest state highpoints, but historically one of the most frustrating to access.
