Peddock's Island

188-acre harbor island

Boston Harbor
Boston, MA 02221
+1 617 223 8666
http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/metroboston/harbor.htm

This island is part of the Boston Harbor Islands national recreation area. You can see some of the island's history as you wander through the ruins of Fort Adams, which was a war post in the early 1900s and a World War II POW camp. You will also find nature trails and vistas that overlook the harbor and mainland. Brisk sea breezes will cool you on the hottest days of the year. A free water taxi to the island is available from George's Island. Summertime camping is allowed with a permit; call for details.
