Biking On Cape Cod
Cape Cod is unspoiled and naturally beautiful and can be
a wonderful experience by bike.
You bike on off-road trails and occasionally pass through
villages with a seafaring heritage. Along the way you will
find many modern conveniences including bike shops and
ice cream stands.
On the Outer Cape Cod as the dunes area is called, bike
trails lead to lighthouses, windmills, nature preserves, golf
courses, museums, a winery, art colonies, an airport, and
campgrounds.
Biking on Cape cod is the best way to experience the
freedom of the Cape Cod Dunes.
On the Outer Cape, the dunes offer the biker miles of
beach freedom where you bike away from the roads, for the
most part, and bike between the beaches.
The Cape Cod Rail Trail, a former railroad bed now
turned bicycle path, and the Nauset Dune Trail, a
system that winds through scrub pine forest and high
dunes, together contain over fifty miles of off-road bicycle
trails.
The Cape Cod Rail Trail is a largely off-road trail that
travels for over 25 miles through Brewster's Nickerson
State Park, and then through Orleans’s Rock Harbor and
on to Eastham and The Cape Cod National Sea Shore’s
Salt Pond Visitors Center. At the center, you can continue
to the windward Nauset Shore of high dunes . The Trail
continues towards Provincetown and comes to its end at
Lecount Hollow in the town of Wellfleet. At several places
along the way, there is ample parking, if one chooses not
to travel the entire 25 miles by bicycle.
