Get there via the MBTA Commuter Rail:<ul><li>Closest Commuter Rail station: West Hingham</li><li>Take the Greenbush Line.</li></ul>Hunting is not permitted on this property. FISHING ADVISORY: It’s important to know that some of our fisheries are contaminated with mercury, PFAS and/or other concerning substances. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health maintains an <a href="https://www.mass.gov/info-details/freshwater-fish-consumption-advisory-lookup-table">online database</a> with up-to-date advisories regarding fish consumption, sorted by location. We recommend you consult this valuable resource when planning a fishing excursion. Features Be sure to check out the informational kiosks along the 0.25-mile brick walkway, featuring “Hingham’s Evolving Waterfront,” and the local mackerel fishing industry. Known as the Harbor Boardwalk, this walkway was expanded in 2019 to its current terminus at the boat ramp parking area. This land is within the region of the Massachusett (or Massachuseuk). To learn more about local Native American tribes, we encourage you to interact with their members. The <a href="https://massachusetttribe.org/">Massachusett</a> tribe at Ponkapoag and the <a href="https://www.mattakeeset.com/">Mattakeeset</a> band of the Massachusett share information on their websites. Trail Description A brick walkway extends along the shoreline for 0.25 miles — from the parking area to the northern edge of the property.
