Cape Cod Rail Trail
Following a former railroad right-of-way through Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham, and Wellfleet — this paved, nearly flat trail is one of the most scenic rides on the East Coast.
Jump off at any point to visit a beach, grab lunch, or explore Nickerson State Park. Food, water, and restrooms are available at Salt Pond Visitors Center and National Seashore Headquarters.
