The Ocean State is hiding five giant wooden trolls 🧌, all built by Danish recycle materials sculpture artist . Each one is made from reclaimed materials and tucked into a different park, so finding them means a road trip and a good excuse to bring your dog(s) along!
Technically you can do all five in one day (and we did!), but it means driving the length of the state with less time to stop. If you want a slower pace, we'd say break it up over a weekend instead, so you actually get to enjoy each park along the way.
Here's where to find them:
📍 Erik Rock + Greta Granit — Ninigret Park, Charlestown
📍 Iver Mudslider — Ryan Park, North Kingstown
📍 Young Boulder — Browning Mill Pond, Arcadia Management Area
📍 Mrs. Skipper — Kettle Pond Pier, East Providence
