This is a very scenic spot that sits on a peninsula, and features views of Hingham Bay. The Boston skyline can also be seen in the distance. The park is run by the Trustees of Reservation, a group that runs and maintains many parks and conservation ares in Massachusetts. The property has an extensive trail system. The main trails are wide gravel trails, but there are secondary standard dirt trails and mowed areas as well to explore. We roughly followed the All-Trails loop here, but explored on our own as well. We wound up hiking nearly six miles here. The weather was perfect for this hike on the day we went. It was only in the lower 60's, so the lack of shade on most of the trails was not a problem. It was still warm enough that the dogs waded into the water to cool off. This is really a beautiful park. It is very well maintained. One thing to keep in mind before a visit, is that the park charges a fee. The sign said the weekday rate was $6, but I was charged $10 for some reason. The man collecting the money simply said that the sign needed to be changed. It looks like on weekends and holiday, advance tickets through the Trustees website are required. Lastly, I consulted the internet to try to find out why it is called "World's End", but I have not found an answer as of yet.

This park is directly accross the Back River from Abigail Adams Park. I was not expecting this to be an off-leash dog park! As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by dogs running around all over the place. There's not as many posed photos as usual, as it's hard to do the trick with the treat when there are so many other dogs around. There's a wide gravel loop trail along the perimeter of the park, with access points to the shore line where dogs can take a dip. We walked the loop, and also climbed the hill in the center of the park. After the walk, we found one of those shoreline access points and Mandy and Lexi played in the water.

This is a walkway that runs between the Hewitts Landing Condominium and the shoreline. I believe it is part of the condominium property, but it's open to the public from dawn to dusk. The pathway is lined with flower gardens. We used this pathway to reach Bouve Conservation Area. There is no public to access to the actual waterfront here, but there is access from the conservation area.

This is a conservation area along Hewitts Cove. There is a trail that leads out to rocky beach areas. It was a very hot day, so Mandy and Lexi took full advantage of the water! This area features views of the nearby marina, and the Boston skyline, as well as Webb Memorial State Park, which is directly across cove. Along with our walk through Hewitts Landing and the marina, we walked three miles on this very hot day. Luckily, Mandy and Lexi were able to get nice and wet here, so they stayed cool, and had no problem with the walk!

After we visited Hewitts Landing Waterfront Walkway and Bouve Conservation Area, we continued west on the Hingham Shipyard Marinas walkway. This walkway leads to a shopping area. Combined with the other two places, this is a great spot to take the dogs for a walk. Stodders Neck Park is directly west of the shopping area, so you can really make a day of it if you want to!
