Walkable Quincy offers trails that improve your health, educate you and provide phenomenal views
The number and variety of historic sites in Quincy are rivaled by the number and variety of hiking and walking trails, pathways and urban strolls. With 52 park locations and 11 beach areas, there are plenty of places to stretch your legs. For true hikes, head to the Blue Hills Reservation, where you’ll find 125 miles of trails through forests, pine woodlands, past bogs and ponds. Hike up to the Blue Hills Weather Observatory for a fabulous Boston skyline view. For something less intense, there’s the 3/4-mile John Adams Health Walk, retracing the routes taken by the second president, who lived to 90. And there’s the Presidents Trail, an urban walking trail through parks and fields, past historic homes, local shops and restaurants.
