The Harbor Islands of Boston Harbor, Boston, Massachusetts, are a collection of 34 islands, many of which are open for public recreation and some of which are very small and best suited for wildlife. The islands are part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. The park is run by the Boston Harbor Islands Partnership, which includes the United States National Park Service and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Attractions on the islands include hiking trails, beaches, the Civil War-era Fort Warren on Georges Island and Boston Light on Little Brewster Island, one of the oldest lighthouses in the nation.
