Editorial Review for Cape Cod Rail Trail – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This paved bicycle path, on the former Penn Central Railroad, starts in the heart of the Cape and ends on national seashore of the Outer Cape. You'll pass a junkyard when leaving Dennis--don't despair. The first cranberry bog is only a mile away. The trip quickly settles into a nice rhythm of pine trees, big pond, cranberries, tunnel, pine trees, big pond, cranberries. The last leg is a straight line for eight miles into Wellfleet.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasThere are nice views of ponds and Wellfleet Harbor--even a tunnel under Route 6--but the terrain is flat and, on sunny days, full of in-line skaters.
Know Before You GoOccasionally, the trail crosses streets, so watch for traffic. And keep to the right of the bright yellow poles at intersections.
