The
Merchants of Wakefield comprise a
variety of more than 40 unique businesses offering shopping, dining, and
services, within
the relaxed setting of an historic
walking district.
There is
so much to do in downtown Wakefield. Take a walk along the Saugatucket
River
Path and enjoy the serene
tranquility of the water. Walk along the historic buildings and browse
the many shops and
their offerings. Enjoy a casual
meal as you spend time with friends both old and new.
Our
village hosts a beautiful stop along South County's William C. O'Neill
Bike Path, one
of the premiere paths in the North
East. The path was formerly called, and is still frequently referred to
as the South County
Bike Path. Presently, the path is 6
miles in length but when completed, it will be approximately 8 miles.
From the Kingston
train station, the path follows the
easement of the old Narragansett Pier Railroad passing through many
small villages and
encounters some of the most
brilliant scenery around. Stop in Wakefield for a drink and a bite to
eat.
