's Urban Adventure: Boston

By Gretchen Voss

Boston is an adventure sports fanatic's heaven. With superb opportunities within the city limits--the Charles River and Boat Basin, the Bay and its islands, the "Emerald Necklace" of parks--Boston's suburbs and outlying attractions are even more impressive. The North Shore, the South Shore, the Cape, and the Islands offer world-class destinations. Weekending offers kayaking or biking the Maine Coast, climbing New Hampshire's White Mountains, bike- or ski-touring Vermont. Here, among the countless choices, are the best destinations for two dozen sports.

Great if you are new to Boston

This is a great book if you are new to Boston and looking for outdoor activities. It covers a number of activities including hiking, biking, kayaking, and horseback riding. It also divides things nicely by their distance from Boston. After a couple years it still helps me find new hikes in the area.
