The one advantage to being a tiny state is that nothing is very far away. Rhode Island is perfect for weekend road trips where you can zip from one side of the state to the other in no time. Foster is a tiny rural town located on the Connecticut border. With a population of just over 4,500, it’s one of the smaller places in the Ocean State. While it may be tiny and rural, that doesn’t mean it should be ignored. This spot has plenty to offer its visitors. Let’s take a look at what there is to see and do in Foster.
Drive through the only covered bridge on a public road in the entire state.
