| Stepping Stone Falls |
Michelle and I were looking for something to do, so we decided to do a hike at Stepping Stone Falls in the Arcadia Management Area.
At over 14,000-acres, the Arcadia Management Area is the state’s largest recreational area with great hiking and paddling. I have paddled the Upper Wood River many times. There are also miles of well-marked and maintained trails. The only other hike I had done here is the Mount Tom Trail.

Steppingstone Falls is pretty little waterfall on the Wood River that drops 10-feet over about 100-feet of distance. The water flows over a series of granite ledges with the largest being around 3-feet.
Typically, folks start this hike at the trailhead for the Ben Utter Trail on Plains Road in Exeter and hike up to the falls. I got the directions wrong, so we started at the falls on Falls River Road in West Greenwich. We hiked down the Ben Utter Trail to the Pavilion, then down the Tanners Washout to the River Trail, then back up the River Trail to the falls. It was enough for us. We had a nice picnic lunch at the falls.
