High Tide Trail

Join the National Parks of Boston and the Stone Living Lab on the High Tide Trail! Once known as the Shawmut Peninsula, Boston’s coastline was ringed by salt marshes and beaches. Since colonization, the coastline has been filled, moved, and transformed into the Boston we know today. Now, sea level rise due to human-caused climate change is changing the coastline once again. Follow the High Tide Trail to explore the history of Boston’s changing coastline and learn what future changes may be in store.
