About this event
Georges Island is dominated by historic Fort Warren, a Civil War-era fort known for its graceful granite archways and reputed ghost, the Lady in Black. The fort and its grassy parade ground are a popular place for a scenic low-stress walk. Get exceptional views of the surrounding islands and Boston Light from the ramparts and towers. Georges Island is a frequent stop for the island ferries and provides a jumping-off point for other islands.
After spending some time on George's Island we will then take a connecting ferry and visit Lovells Island, another Boston Bay Island.
Lovells Island—the nearest island to sites of legendary shipwrecks—is now a favorite for campers.. You could spend days relaxing on a remote beach and nights listening to the sounds of the harbor. Take a swim on the ocean side (unsupervised). Tour the crumbling gun batteries, bunkers, and foundations of Fort Standish. Put on your water shoes and wade along a rocky beach or explore tidepools with views of the outer islands and Boston Light. Picnic on the shore or inland. Hike the rocky coastline.

While George's Island has a wide range of facilities including refreshment it would be wise to bring water, snacks and depending on the weather a bathing suit. Also recommended is sun block, bug repellant, towel and any other personal items you may want.
