Snake Den is a climbing area in Rhode Island, about 0.7 miles from the town of Fountain Spring. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, so it works well as a stop in a day of bouldering and rock climbing in the area. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Woonsocket show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, while July peaks near 84°F and winter brings regular snow days. The closest neighbor is Quarry, The, about 0.4 miles away, and Belfield Road Boulders lies about a mile off. Snake Den South is roughly 1.2 miles away. For a change from climbing, the World War II Memorial Trail (yellow) is about 2.2 miles away.
