Cape Cod Rail Trail
The Cape Cod Rail Trail is a 22-mile (35 km) paved rail trail located on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.
Operated by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, it occupies an abandoned Old Colony Railroad corridor and extends from Route 134 in South Dennis to LeCount Hollow Road in South Wellfleet.
Its route also passes through the towns of Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham, and Wellfleet. It connects to several other bike trails, including the 6-plus mile (10 km) Old Colony Rail Trail leading to Chatham, 8 miles (13 km) of rolling trails within Nickerson State Park,[1] and the Nauset Bike Trail leading to Coast Guard Beach in Cape Cod National Seashore. Short side trips on roads lead to several other National Seashore beaches.
The official trail map shows parking areas and rest rooms along the trail. There are also many restaurants, ice cream shops, and bike rental shops.
