Boston Harbor to Gull Harbor
This is a nice and easy paddle, following the shoreline southward and back. After passing Burfoot Park, you're rewarded with a relatively private harbor, likely all to yourself. I often see waterfowl there, including eagles, kingfishers, guillemots, surf scoters, and herons. The only concerns on this paddle are weather (wind from the south, west, or north) and tidal exchanges as you enter and exit the narrow entrance to the harbor. Strong tidal currents can create extremely swift currents at the mouth of the harbor, which may be challenging to less experienced paddlers.
Round trip, the distance is roughly 4.5 Nautical miles
