Go Birding
Magazine Beach Park's unique greenspace offers an urban oasis along the Charles River for migrating and common birds to stop by and enjoy. Bring your binoculars (or borrow one of ours during operating hours) to observe waterfowl on the river, songbirds in the brush, nesting falcons in buildings, and more.
Kayak the Charles River
Magazine Beach Park features a car-top boat launch at the southern end of the park that can be accessed to paddle along the Charles River for a unique perspective of the city. Guided kayaking programs, where Mass Audubon Field Teachers interpret the nature of the city, will be offered starting summer 2022.
