George Washington Forest

Located in Hingham, George Washington Forest is a 6 acre property featuring scenic pond views. The 3 mile trail is ideal for hiking and birding. The trails are actually carriage paths wide enough for forest maintenance but are excellent for walking. Visitors particularly enjoy this destination during fall foliage season. A small pull off parking area is available along South Pleasant Street. After extensive research and plant diagnostic site work performed by the University of Massachusetts Extension’s diagnostic team it was determined that all trees that could potentially fall onto the roads or trails should be removed for Public Safety.
