For information on pricing and where to buy licenses for freshwater fishing, contact the Department of Environmental Management's Division of Licensing. No license is needed for saltwater fishing.

One of the best trail guides for the region is the AMC Massachusetts and Rhode Island Trail Guide, available at local outdoors shops or from the Appalachian Mountain Club. The Rhode Island Audubon Society leads interesting hikes and field expeditions around the state.
