At 812 feet, Jerimoth Hill is the highest point in Rhode Island. It ranks #46 among all U.S. state high points and was my 9th on the journey to visit the high point of every state.
Located in Foster, Rhode Island, near the Connecticut border, Jerimoth Hill is about 30 minutes west of downtown Providence. Named after early settler Jerimoth Brown (1783–1830), it’s one of the most accessible high points in the country—and also one of the easiest to overlook if you’re not paying attention.
