World’s End

Spend a relaxing day biking, hiking, or even snowshoeing, at World’s End. Open year-round, this park has something for everyone.

The deep green trails of World’s End will guide you along a journey exploring the beauty of nature at this popular destination. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, this park was originally intended for residential development and was almost the site of the United Nations headquarters.

Today, World’s End is the perfect place to spend a relaxing day in this biodiversity hotspot. Stroll along the peninsula’s miles of trails, read a favorite book while overlooking Hingham Harbor, take a cross-country skiing adventure, or even go horseback riding!
