Explore the Charles River Basin July 26, 2009

Boston By Foot. Recover the "lost half-mile" on this Boston By Foot Tour of the Month featuring the evolution and history of the Charles River.

Take a journey of discovery and explore the new open spaces along the "lost half-mile" of the Charles River. A hub of transportation and recreation, this area has experienced several cycles of dramatic change resulting from the construction of bridges and dams, railroads, land-making, and the Big Dig project.

From the tidal estuary of the Charles through the vision of Charles Eliot, reclaim this lost half-mile on this trek over dams, under bridges, along railroads, and through beautifully sculpted parks.
