Perched at the head of Narragansett Bay along Providence River, Providence is the capital and largest city of the smallest state in the country, Rhode Island. Did you know that the full name of Rhode Island is the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations? Rhode Island is home to only two national parks, and one of them just happens to be in Providence. The Roger Williams National Memorial is a landscaped urban park sitting just a short distance away from downtown Providence. The park celebrates the life of Roger Williams, a staunch advocate for religious freedom and the founder of Rhode Island. To get the most out of your visit to Rhode Island, you’ll want to book an RV in Providence County.
