• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, start by taking the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) bus route 66 from the nearest bus stop in Burlingame State Park. Ride the bus towards Newport and get off at the stop closest to Jamestown (be sure to check the current schedule for exact stops). From there, you will need to take a taxi or rideshare service (like Uber or Lyft) to Fort Wetherill State Park, as it is about a 2-mile distance from the bus stop to the park entrance. Expect to pay for the taxi or rideshare service separately, which may vary based on demand.
