Great Esker Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great Esker Park is an interesting geological formation along the Weymouth Back River in Weymouth, Massachusetts.

This area was formed by a glacier 12,000 years ago. It includes a Nature Study Center and small museum, bird watching, hiking on nature trails, a playground and picnic area.

Located on Elva Rd., on the west side of the Back River and its salt marsh, the park features the highest esker in North America (90 ft.), reversing falls, 237 acres, and 6 miles of trails. It is adjacent to Bare Cove Park.
