Features
Be sure to check out the informational kiosks along the 0.25-mile brick walkway, featuring “Hingham’s Evolving Waterfront,” and the local mackerel fishing industry. Known as the Harbor Boardwalk, this walkway was expanded in 2019 to its current terminus at the boat ramp parking area.
This land is within the region of the Massachuseuk (or Massachusett) Native American tribe.
Trail Description
A brick walkway extends along the shoreline for 0.25 miles — from the parking area to the northern edge of the property.
