Trail Notes

• The site includes a historically dredged swimming beach, vistas of the waterfront and Boston skyline. The slate cliffs are also particularly geologically intriguing. The coastal cliffs were formed from sediment in a lake that occupied the Boston Basin 200 million years ago.
• The trail network is essentially one straight trail but there are a few side trails that are not noted on the map. The property is heavily wooded with excellent views of the water. There is a large stream at the beginning of the trail. The trail feels reminiscent of the Rocky Neck portion of Worlds End.
• A few notes:
• trail is not stroller accessible due to incline, rocks, and certain narrow spots
• beautiful views of the Boston skyline
• there is designated parking available right near the trail entrance on HMS Halsted Drive
