Georges Island is dominated by historic Fort Warren, a Civil War-era fort known for its graceful granite archways and reputed ghost, the Lady in Black. The fort and its grassy parade ground are a popular place for a scenic low-stress walk. Take a ranger-guided tour. Picnic under a shade tree. See the ramparts or fish off the pier. Get exceptional views of the surrounding islands and Boston Light.
Georges Island has toilet facilities, drinking water, food service and refreshments, and cooking grills. It’s a popular site for group events. We can help plan your company outing, wedding, or other event. As the central transportation hub to the islands, Georges Island is a frequent stop for the island ferries. And it provides a jumping-off point for other islands.
