Snake Hill, Mapleville, RI
Cliff is located in the village of Mapleville in the town of Burrillville,
RI. In the winter the cliffs can be seen from the Little League
baseball field located off
Casino Avenue. Take
Casino Avenue into the ball field. The ball fields will be on
your left. Park your car on the right-hand side of the road
behind the third field or by the gate if closed. From the third
(farthest) ball field walk into the woods on a faint path walking away
from Casino Ave. The river will be about 100 yds
in. Head down river and cross on a metal bridge put there for
ATVs. Once
you cross follow the overgrown path to a well worn ATV road. Take
a right on that and then take a left on the next trail. Landmark will
be huge pine tree (trunk probably 4 feet
round with deer stand in it). Take this trail. Proceed down trail into
open field. Walk though field but stay on the left edge.
At end of field on the left you will see footpath. Proceed down
this foot
path for 100 to 200 yds. At the elephant tree (pine tree with
funky branch going horizontal) take a right. Proceed 100 feet and cross
gully. After 20 more feet the trail splits. Look straight ahead
for subtle path going up the hill. Take this path up hill and
look for rock. Finding it when there are leaves on the tree is
the crux. I'm not sure whether there are access issues (i.e.
you're trespassing). Cliff is about 45 feet high.
