How to Begin Your Walk

The trail begins from the free public parking lot on Rocky Neck Avenue. 

This self-guided walking tour takes you to 15 historic sites where you can see harbor views, weathered buildings, and coastal landscapes that have inspired generations of artists. In some cases, you'll find scenes that look remarkably similar to paintings from over a century ago. In others, you'll see how the waterfront has changed over time. Allow 1-2 hours to explore all sites at a leisurely pace. Each location includes walking directions to the next site.
