Just because it is Winter does not mean you have to stay indoors all day by the fire. There are plenty of great trails along the South Shore that make for wonderful snowy hikes and Winter adventures - especially when you are prepared for the elements! So stock up on the essentials and hit the trails.
We've pulled together a list of great options for your Winter adventures. All of the trails we have noted include good parking - crucial in snowy weather! Grab your big boots, cross-country skis or snowshoes and hit the trails.
Good, Easier Loops
- Turkey Hill - Hingham // Although this is a big property, there is a great loop right around the field at the top of the hill
- Bay Farm - Duxbury // great views of Kingston Bay, might even see some wildlife in the field if you time your visit right
- Webster Wildlife Sanctuary - Marshfield // very level terrain, great for bird-watching
- Driftway - Scituate // best sunset, dusk views. Perfect for taking your next family picture!
- Norris Reservation - Norwell // views along the North River, potentially the most uneven of the trails suggested
Longer, More Adventurous Terrain
- North Hill Marsh - Duxbury // views of a historic cranberry bog and lots of wooded trails.
- Widows Walk Golf Course - Scituate // open seasonally to non-golfers. large tract of land that will provide a good workout climbing hills
- Wheelright Park - Cohasset // large, wooded paths complete with 1930s skating pond
- Two Mile Farm & Jose Carreiro Woods - Marshfield // decently hilly, but the combined parcels of land will provide good distance
- More-Brewer - Hingham // More wooded trails and opportunity for solitude.
- World's End - Hingham // It is hard to not include World's End in any "best of" list. Although the terrain can be quite hilly, it will absolutely provide excellent views.
