This is a short, nice walk to a great view of Narragansett Bay. The cache has some knick knacks for kids.
Have fun!
Chepiwanoxet is a neighborhood in Warwick, Rhode Island, with an island peninsula in Greenwich Bay, an arm of Narragansett Bay. The neighborhood straddles the Amtrak railroad lines, which lie just east of Post Road. Its boundaries are Neptune Street to the north, Alger Avenue to the south, Post Road to the west and Greenwich Bay to the east. Chepiwanoxet Way, an underpass beneath the Amtrak lines, now serves as the only street access in and out of the neighborhood.
Native Americans, who fished its island and shores, named this area between Post Road and Greenwich Bay "Chepiwanoxet." Settled as a colonial farm in early 18th century, it became a beach resort with hotel and shore dinner hall after the railroad station opened cc. 1837. Small lots were sold for summer cottages to upstate residents and for homes to Cowesett hill estate workers in late 19th century. Before World War I, the Gallaudet Corporation built a causeway to the island for its seaplane factory, with many workers living here. Warwick bought the island in 1994 for a city park.
