Weymouth Back River Reservation

Weymouth Back River Reservation is a protected coastal area featuring mixed forests, wetlands, and river marshes along the waterway's edge. The land contains multiple connected zones that provide visitors with access to different natural environments throughout the region.

The state protected this land to preserve natural habitats and river environments for future generations. The reservation became an important way for residents to connect with the waterway's ecology.

The reservation functions as an educational center where visitors learn about local ecosystems through interpretive programs and wildlife observation opportunities.

You can enter the reservation from different spots, including access points near Route 3A and Puritan Road. The walking paths are well-maintained and let visitors explore various sections at their own pace.

The reservation divides into four distinct areas such as Abigail Adams Park and Great Esker Park, each revealing different views and features along the water. Each section shows different forest types and wetland conditions.
