BOSTON HARBORWALK
Designed to bring people back to the waterfront, the HarborWalk now extends all the way from Chelsea Creek to Neponset in a series of paths and observation points that take you through a richly varied landscape of parks, neighborhoods and working waterfront. Along the way, it connects to other trails and parks, including the Esplanade and the Emerald Necklace. All in all, you can walk, run or ride your bike for more than 38 miles. The best part, of course, is that the HarborWalk runs along Fan Pier’s incomparable and beautifully landscaped stretch of curved waterfront park to Fan Pier Marina.
