Take a walk on the wild side of New England. Enjoy the waterways along these boardwalks, causeways, and piers, one in each of our six states.
The Colchester Causeway
Colchester, VT
The Colchester Causeway is a gravel trail that extends into Lake Champlain, from Burlington to South Hero Island. You can bike, walk, or run the approximately 14-mile round trip, out and back, and soak in the scenery, which offers spectacular views of both the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains.
Bass Hole Boardwalk
Yarmouth, MA
Adjacent to Gray’s Beach, the Bass Hole boardwalk juts across marshes into Cape Cod Bay. Meander out to the end (1/4 mile), to the observation deck, taking in the sights and sounds of the shore, including ospreys who nest nearby.
Larry Mouradjian Fishing Pier
Warwick, RI
The T-shaped Larry Mouradjian Fishing Pier at Rocky Point State Park is an ideal spot for deep-water fishing in Narragansett Bay, and gazing at the sunset on a summer night.
Marshall Point Light Station
Port Clyde, ME
Established in 1832, the Marshall Point Light Station stands at the entrance of Port Clyde Harbor.
Little Pond Boardwalk Trail
Litchfield, CT
The Little Pond Boardwalk at the White Memorial Conservation Center is an elevated 1.2-mile wooden walkway that allows visitors to explore the wetland environment and observe numerous species of waterfowl, especially during the spring and fall migration seasons.
Flume Gorge
Lincoln, NH
Flume Gorge extends 800 feet at the base of Mount Liberty. With 70-90-foot-high walls of Conway granite on either side, the Flume trail is a 2-mile loop that includes uphill walking and lots of stairs, but the payoff is a verdant and fascinating nature walk.
