General Information
The Rockland Harbor Trail is easy to follow. Allow you and your imagination enjoy the Harbor sights along the way. The trail is approximately 5.5. mile[s] from beginning to end, linking many of the city's open spaces, parks, downtown and waterfront historical sites.

The park was transformed from the city dump to a public park in 1935. The W.P.A. provided labor and materials were donated for seawall and the landing. The steel bridge which makes up part of the pier was donated by the Rockland-Rockport Lime Company.
