Great Esker Park consists mostly of a geological formation known as an esker (a winding ridge of stratified sand and gravel) formed by a glacier 12,000 years ago. It is along the Weymouth Back River in Weymouth and across the river from Bare Cove Park in Hingham.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Appalachian Mountain Club Boston Chapter Local Walks/Hikes Committee )〕 The park features the highest esker in North America (90 ft), reversing falls, salt marshes, six miles (10 km) of trails, a playground and picnic area. Bird watching is a popular activity as osprey, great blue heron, red-tailed hawks, owls, and other species of birds are abundant seasonally. There are man-made shelters on the river where Osprey nest in the spring and summer months. In the summer months the park is used by (Wey-Rec ) for children's (programs ). The main parking area is located at the end of Elva Road with additional parking off of Bridge Street (3A) and Puritan Road. ==See also==
