Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Rhode Island contains no mountains by geological definition. The state's highest elevation is Jerimoth Hill at 812 feet (247 meters) above sea level, located in Foster near the Connecticut border.
This modest summit reflects Rhode Island's position within the New England Upland physiographic province—glaciated terrain of rolling hills, not mountain-building orogeny. The hill sits on private property but has been accessible to highpointers via a maintained trail following agreements with landowners.
For context, Rhode Island's mean elevation is just 200 feet, and its lowest point is sea level along the Atlantic coast. The state's compact size (1,214 square miles) and relatively uniform topography make Jerimoth Hill one of the least prominent state highpoints nationally, yet it attracts dedicated "highpointers" completing all 50 state summits.
