Lincoln Woods State Park
Lincoln Woods state park contains 627 acres of lush woodlands scattred with countless boulders and small cliffs. The rock is primarilly glaciated granite with periodic quartz and diorite intrusions (there are also small amounts of greenstone and marble). The rock has a very rough texture and is notorious for it's razor sharp crimpers. Most problems are relatively short - rarely over 12ft - and like any area their quality ranges from three star to "why bother". Rest assured, though, there are many problems in the three star category. In addition to bouldering there are 10 miles of rugged hiking trails, a large pond with boating, fishing and a beautiul beach area, and even Horseback outings provided for a fee by a local stable. The Park is open year round and is located only a short distance from the Providence Metropolitan Area.
