BELLE ISLE MARSH AREA MAP







Belle Isle Marsh Reservation preserves 152 acres of the 241 acre Belle Isle Marsh, Boston's last remaining salt marsh. A unique place for exploring, the reservation exemplifies the type of wetlands that once lined the Massachusetts Bay shore. Centuries of flourishing plant life have made the marsh more fertile than the richest farm land. Its protected waters are nurseries to fish and shellfish and are critical habitat to many salt marsh plants and wildlife rare to the metropolitan area. A favorite get-away for nature walks and birdwatching, the marsh is the summer home of snowy egrets, great egrets, great blue heron, and many species of ducks and geese. Belle Isle Reservation includes 28 acres of landscaped park with an easy hiking path, boardwalk, trails, benches, picnic tables, and an observation tower. The park has free parking at the entrance on Bennington Street in East Boston and is accessible by taking the MBTA Blue Line to the Suffolk Downs station, walking North (left) on Bennington Street about 1/4 mile across the street. Open year-round from dawn to dusk. 617-727-5350
