Summary: Take a leisurely walk around this peninsula, enjoying the tree lined paths around the island that offer magnificent views of Boston and the harbor islands. We started from the main path, and turned left at the first intersection, until reaching the narrow dirt path to the island. Continue on the leftmost path and circle the island, returning to the same path that joins it with the mainland. Continue left, and return to the parking area. It is an easy hike with very slight elevation changes, perfect to bring the kids. There are plenty of other trails you could enjoy to extend your visit to this well maintained property of The Trustees of Reservations. Trailhead: 250 Martin's Lane, Hingham, MA. From Route 3, take exit 14 and follow Route 228 north towards Hingham for 6.5 miles. Turn left onto Route 3A and follow for 0.7 mi. Turn right onto Summer Street and, at major intersection with Rockland Street, continue straight across. Road becomes Martin's Lane. Follow for 0.7 mile until it dead ends at entrance and parking area (70 cars). Parking in residential areas is not permitted. $4.50 charged per person.

Reviewed by dg on 5/27/2007 Just got back. Entry fee is now $5.00. Summary says it all. Leisurely retreat. Benches with small clearings are along the path. Well maintained. Interesting contrast of the city skyline with the ocean, meadow and forest. Good for families.
