Walk the HarborWalk & Grace Trail

Walk the HarborWalk & GRACE Trail

Experience the peaceful HarborWalk, an 800-foot section located between the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum and the Harbor Point apartments. This area is easily accessible by crossing Mount Vernon Street and following the walkway between the Harbor Point apartments and campus parking Lot D.

The UMass Boston Harborwalk Grace Trail is a self-guided one-mile walk along the Harborwalk from Fox Point dock to Harbor Point housing. Reflect on these questions as you walk:

  • What am I GRATEFUL for?
  • What can I RELEASE to move on?
  • What do I need to ACCEPT right now?
  • How can I bring COURAGE to my next challenge?
  • What can I EMBRACE as possible?

Learn more about the GRACE Trail here.
