Visit a Mainland Park

Stroll along the peninsula's miles of Trail on World's End.

Matt Teuten

Made up of 34 unique islands and peninsulas, the Boston Harbor Islands have something for everyone. Choose a mainland park and plan your adventure!

Deer Island
Deer Island is both rich in history and a proud symbol of environmental stewardship. Go for an invigorating jog, see the wastewater treatment plant, or simply enjoy a peaceful stroll along the dog-friendly trails. Deer Island has something to offer all who visit.

Nut Island
Make your way down to the pier on Nut Island, a favorite spot for fishing and fabulous views. With beautiful views of harbor vistas and easy bike and car access, this little peninsula is ideal for a day spent by the sea.

Webb Memorial
Webb Memorial is the perfect spot for picnicking under the pavilion or watching the boats sail by while lounging by the water. Come enjoy an island-view picnic or take a relaxing stroll along the dog-friendly walking trails.

World’s End
Spend a relaxing day biking, hiking, or even snowshoeing, at World’s End. Open year-round, this park has something for everyone. 

The four mainland parks (Worlds End, Webb Memorial, Nut, and Deer) are easily accessible to reach by car, bike, or foot. Visit our Boston Harbor Islands partnership site for more information.
