Cape Cod Bike Trail
Follow the route of the old main Cape Cod railroad behind the main streets and back roads of 5 Cape towns. The 20-mile trail begins on Route 134 in Dennis, winds through Harwich and Brewster (with a side trip to Nickerson State Park), continues through the seaside village of Orleans and offers a satisfying finish in Eastham. From there, the Cape Cod National Seashore trails are a definite "must." Along the way, you will experience the true beauty and glory of Cape Cod...beaches, bogs, kettle ponds, forests, ocean vistas and peaks of the people and places you'll want to visit again and again. A variety of parking areas afford parking at different starting points so you can tailor the length of your tour
