Complete information about visiting Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area is now on National Park Planner!
Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area encompasses twenty-nine islands and four peninsula parks in Boston Harbor. Eight of the islands have visitor amenities such as hiking trails, campgrounds, visitor centers, historic military forts and batteries, and lighthouses. Ferries provide regular service during the summer to six of the islands, while two have service on select days of the week. Five islands are closed to the public, but the rest, most of which are barren, can be visited by those with their own boat.
