The town has been investing in the Coventry Greenway, a pedestrian and bicycle path built on the old New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad right-of-way and part of the [[East Coast Greenway]], a trail running from [[Maine]] to [[Florida]]. The Coventry Greenway travels {{convert|15|mi|km}} from the [[Connecticut]] state line to the [[West Warwick, Rhode Island|West Warwick]] town line. The greenway has recently undergone a massive renovation and has reopened to the public as a walking, cycling, and horse trail.
