    Sunset, fishing, Boston on the right.
    Steph J.

    I've only come here to go fishing with a bunch of friends but I love the sunset view it offers on a clear day! You can see Boston plain in sight. The pier does get crowded at times because it's not a big area, but it can get a little overwhelming. (Also it's really cold at night) It's a small area, and although I haven't actually been on the trail here, I can tell that it's a pretty short walk around. No public bathrooms except portable ones. Parking is always easy to find.

    Great views!
    Anne K.

    If your looking for a place to walk with great views Nut island is perfect. The distance around the outside is about 6/10 mile. The pathways are nicely paved. This is a great place to watch the sunset over the city! The only downside is the sewage treatment plant can be a little smelly at times.

    Small Neat little park on the water. Not a huge trail for walking but nice views. It would be nice for a picnic with kids.

    Great place to go on a bike ride or run. Hidden gem, for sure. Good place to spend the afternoon, get some sun/exercise.

    We took the 216 bus down to Hough's Neck, then we walked up Millionaire Hill (as the locals call it) and down to the island.

    CRAIG HOCKENBERRY…read more There was so much history here and the staff was so amazing. I could have stayed there several hours. The National Park does it right! Also, I did stop at the first Al resting place of our 2nd and 6th President as well as the one and only Abigail Adams. Craig Hockenberry Ohio

    Our small little group of 3 traveled to Quincy from Boston to come and see this National Park, as…read moremy husband and son are history enthusiasts. In the sweltering July 2026 heat we traveled by train to arrive in Quincy. Only to be lectured by a Park Ranger about how my backpack wasn't able to let us visit any of the locations. This same Ranger continued to lecture us on the possible heat closures and then chastise us for our lack of planning and prepartion to come and see the properties. How dare we come see a National Landmark and not think to plan in advance and get tickets. Listen my husband was having a history gorge on this trip so I wasn't going to pitch a fit. But, come on National Parks. We WANT people to be interested in our national history, be proud of our hertitage, and WANT to visit. Maybe we remove some barriers and not dress down visitors. Everything was closed for tours because of the heat risk. But, that sweet air conditioned bus was solid. Driver played good music, the AC was cranking and we were able to see all the different parts. The Park did have actors performing a scripted role of the Adams Family- they were impressive, the gardens of the home were beautiful. Additional bright spots: the movie was great at the welcome center. The Family history was amazing- the dedication and duty of service was astounding. The lessons and connection to a time gone by was great. Remove some barriers, be more welcoming, create more opportunities...
