Burlingame State Park, State park in Charlestown, United States.
The 3,100-acre park contains dense woodlands surrounding Watchaug Pond, where visitors encounter white-tailed deer, foxes, and numerous bird species throughout the grounds.
The Rhode Island State Parks Commission acquired land near Watchaug Pond in 1930, establishing the park and naming it after commission chairman Edwin A. Burlingame.
The park served as the main operational base for Rhode Island's Civilian Conservation Corps activities during the 1930s, contributing to local infrastructure development.
The expansive campground features 713 camping sites, including 20 cabins, alongside facilities for swimming, fishing, boating, and hiking around Watchaug Pond.
Northern water snakes, Eastern box turtles, and up to 80 different nesting bird species inhabit the park's diverse ecosystem throughout the seasons.
