Storer Park park
Storer Park
One of the main reasons to visit Storer Park is its stunning scenery. With its lush greenery, scenic coastal views, and tranquil atmosphere, the park offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its location on the shore of the Block Island Sound provides visitors with breathtaking vistas of the ocean, while the park's well-maintained trails allow for peaceful walks and hikes.
Storer Park is also known for its unique points of interest. One such attraction is the Watch Hill Lighthouse, situated on the westernmost point of Rhode Island. This historic lighthouse, which has been guiding ships since 1808, offers visitors the chance to explore its grounds and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area. Additionally, the park is home to the renowned Atlantic Beach, a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking during the summer months.
Interesting facts about the area include Storer Park's connection to the famous American poet, Robert Frost. The park was named after a prominent local resident, Mary Frost Storer, who was the sister of Robert Frost. This adds a literary touch to the park's already charming ambiance.
The best time to visit Storer Park is during the summer season, from June to August. The warm weather allows visitors to fully enjoy the park's outdoor activities, such as swimming, beachcombing, and hiking. The park's facilities, including picnic areas and restroom facilities, are fully operational during this time, catering to the needs of visitors.

Park & land designation reference
A quick legend for the federal and state land categories Snoflo tracks. Each designation comes with different rules around access, recreation, and resource extraction.
- National Park
- Large protected natural areas managed by the federal government to preserve significant landscapes, ecosystems, and cultural resources; recreation is allowed but conservation is the priority.
- State Park
- Public natural or recreational areas managed by a state government, typically smaller than national parks and focused on regional natural features, recreation, and education.
- Local Park
- Community-level parks managed by cities or counties, emphasizing recreation, playgrounds, sports, and green space close to populated areas.
- Wilderness Area
- The highest level of land protection in the U.S.; designated areas where nature is left essentially untouched, with no roads, structures, or motorized motorized access permitted.
- National Recreation Area
- Areas set aside primarily for outdoor recreation (boating, hiking, fishing, often around reservoirs, rivers, or scenic landscapes); may allow more development.
- National Conservation Area (BLM)
- BLM-managed areas with special ecological, cultural, or scientific value; more protection than typical BLM land but less strict than Wilderness Areas.
- State Forest
- State-managed forests focused on habitat, watershed, recreation, and sustainable timber harvest.
- Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Land
- Vast federal lands managed for mixed use -- recreation, grazing, mining, conservation -- with fewer restrictions than national parks or forests.
