The Cape Cod Rail Trail
Dennis, Harwich, Brewster
The Cape Cod Rail Trail follows a former railroad right-of-way for 25 miles through the Lower and Middle Cape, in the towns of Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet. Its
smoothly-paved surface (adjacent to a gravel surface), makes it ideal for cyclists,
equestrians, walkers, in-line skaters, and runners.
