Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea)? Growing in Benton Point State Park, RI near path.
Answer
Dear joshl, your plant is Lamium purpureum (red henbit), a non-native member of the mint family. This genus differs from Glechoma in its sessile (i.e., unstalked) flowers. Those of Glechoma have short pedicels.
