"The reservation, open year-round, preserves 152 acres of the 241-acre Belle Isle Marsh, the last remaining salt marsh in Boston. Its protected waters are a breeding ground for numerous fish and shellfish, as well as for native vegetation. Formerly an island, Belle Isle was Hog's Island (later Breeds Island), one of the islands that was joined to make East Boston. It offers a view of wildlife rarely seen in a metropolitan area. You can take a guided informational walk--well worth it--and scan the marsh, Logan Airport, and the nearby town of Winthrop from an observation tower. There's a second tower hidden in the marsh, if you can find it. Be mindful that it is marsh land so, especially in the summer, prepare for mosquitos and if you plan on following any of the paths that lead into the reeds, ticks too." - Nick DiStefano

Great place to walk around and see all times of birds and scenery. One of Boston and another of the Marsh from different viewpoints. If you are into airplanes this is another great place where you can watch them and grab some pretty good photos. They fly low enough you can make the names of each airline company that is out there. So grab a picnic and a camera and enjoy the sights and sounds

How lucky are we to have this kind of lovely saltwater nature preserve in our backyard! Plenty of open space but the birdwatching is especially fantastic.

A lovely place to stroll. The salt-water marsh is completely different terrain than just a few miles away. It's a nice place to go for a walk and spot wildlife.

The Blue Line I was riding back from Revere went out of service at Orient Heights and the shuttle busses were taking way too long to help, so I stumbled across Belle Isle Marsh and couldn't have been more pleased!

Beautiful place in east Boston. Easy fun trails with well placed picnic tables. Just go in the cooler months or cover up as the mosquitoes are unreal.

Quiet place for a walk with a city view! I had fun exploring this park, and would go back again.
