Wompatuck State Park – Main Entrance (Hingham)

The main entrance to Wompatuck State Park in Hingham gives access to a genuinely massive property spanning four towns -- Hingham, Cohasset, Scituate, and Norwell -- with over 3,500 acres, 12+ miles of paved bike paths, and more than 40 miles of forest trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. The land was once home to the Massachusett tribe under Chief Josiah Wompatuck, and later served as a naval ammunition depot from 1941 to 1965, before being converted into a state park. With Aaron River Reservoir on one side and over 250 recorded bird species throughout the park, there is enough here to fill many separate visits.
