Fort Wetherill State Park
Fort
Wetherill State Park, situated upon 100 foot high granite cliffs
across the water from Fort Adams State Park, is a former coastal
defense battery and training camp. Known for its spectacular view of
Newport Harbor and the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, Fort
Wetherill has been a popular sight for viewing the numerous Tall
Ship Events and America’s Cup Races. The area is also a major
attraction for scuba diving, with Diving Clubs from New York State,
Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island using the facilities at
the boat ramp year round. Additionally, the park offers family and
group picnicking, boating, fishing, hiking and exploring on the
park’s 61.5 acres of property.
