Review:
Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area comprises a collection of islands, along with part of the mainland, which are preserved as a recreation area by the National Park Service. Several hiking trails weave throughout the various islands and picnicking and fishing opportunities abound. Georges Island is home to Fort Warren, a Civil War-era fort.
The oldest lighthouse in the United States, Boston Light, is located within the park on Little Brewster Island. Seasonal ferries connect Georges Island and Spectacle Island with Boston and Quincy. Several of the islands are part of the Boston Harbor Islands State Park, which is included in the National Recreation Area.
