Deering Estate

When you get to the park, open your quest and we'll guide you through one step at a time. Do them in any order, across as many visits as you like — anything you tick is saved.

• Walking

  Walk the boardwalk to the bay, then follow the pine rockland trail behind the house.

  1.5 miles total · about 55 min · Boardwalk plus limestone trail; boardwalk is accessible, the trail is uneven.

• Adventure

  Photograph the stone house and one detail of its coral rock walls.

  At the main house · about 15 min · Flat, partly shaded courtyard.

• Live More

  Stand on the bayfront boardwalk and spend five minutes with the water and nothing else.

  0.3 mile to the boardwalk · about 10 min · Accessible boardwalk with rails.

• Movement

  Walk the full grounds loop without sitting down, then stretch by the basin.

  1.8 miles · about 60 min · Mixed surfaces; the longest walk in this region.

• Together

  Walk the boardwalk together and talk about the whole eight-park run you just finished.

  0.3 mile · about 20 min · Flat, shaded in parts, easy for everyone.

• Bonus · optional

  Bonus: photograph coral rock at this destination — your third for the signature quest.
