The Thomas Dambo Rhode Island Troll Trail Is Complete!

"Wow what a great project. We felt really welcomed in Rhode Island and managed to make five great recycled sculptures in Rhode Island. I know they can be a little bit hard to find, but that is on purpose so you can have a fun time searching for them. There are clues you will see that feel trolly, and that's how you know you are on the right path." -Thomas Dambo

Five giant trolls by world renowned recycle artist, Thomas Dambo, now call Rhode Island home, four are located in South County, and one, Mrs. Skipper resides in East Providence. Erik Rock and Greta Granit, South County's can be found in Ninigret Park. Park near the playground and it's just a short walk to the first troll, Erik Rock, who is situated by Little Ninigret Pond. Then, follow signs toward the Senior Center and find a marker (or follow the clues found on Erik Rock) to find your way to Greta Granite. 

Iver Mudslider lives in Ryan Park in North Kingstown. Parking is limited, but he is a short walk to the left if you park on Lafayette Street. Young Boulder is by Browning Mill Pond in Arcadia on the Exeter/Richmond line. And lastly, Mrs. Skipper is located at Kettle Pond Pier in East Providence. 

Please be respectful of the trolls. They are ticklish and do not like to be climbed, but please interact with them and go ahead and sit on the nearby stones and have your photo taken. All the trolls are free to the public.
