Lincoln Woods State Park is the Rhode Island stop in this guide, mapped at 2 Manchester Print Works Rd in Lincoln and associated with Blackstone Valley. It belongs because it brings the foliage route into an urban-edge park setting, with a lake loop and beach services rather than a mountain highway, coastal park loop, or isolated waterfall.

Plan for 1–2 hours. Follow posted one-way and parking rules, and remember that trail and beach services are seasonal. General park access is typically free, although specific seasonal services may differ. This makes Lincoln Woods a different planning proposition from Kent Falls, where a nonresident parking fee may apply and temporary closure can follow parking capacity, or from Acadia’s stops, where an entrance pass is required.

Lincoln Woods is listed with a mid to late October planning window, but Rhode Island foliage conditions must be checked for the actual 2026 season. Use current same-day park information as well. The Lincoln address, Blackstone Valley route context, lake-loop format, urban-edge setting, posted traffic rules, and seasonal services are the details worth confirming before arrival.
