Park Alert:

Public ferry service to the Boston Harbor Islands will be suspended on Thursday, June 12, and Friday, June 13 due to a unique combination of waterline repairs on Georges Island, vessel limitations, and a previously scheduled private event on Spectacle Island. Service to Spectacle Island will resume on Saturday, June 14. Georges will remain closed until repairs are complete. We appreciate your patience and will be offering an additional free ferry day later this season.

Activities, ranger tours, and most programs are included with your ferry ticket.
