About this adventure
Located in Hingham on a 251-acre peninsula extending into Hingham Harbor and Massachusetts Bay, World's End features 4.5 miles of gentle, tree-lined carriage paths designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. In winter, the rolling drumlins offer crystalline air and spectacular, uninterrupted vistas of the Boston skyline across the water. The wide, packed gravel and grass paths are exceptionally easy to navigate with sturdy strollers, pull-behind sleds, or snowshoes. Children will enjoy spotting winter seabirds, deer, and turkeys along the coastal fields. Restrooms are available at the entrance; advance parking reservations are recommended on sunny weekends.
