When you come to the Cape, bring your bike and enjoy the beauty of the Cape far from the highways and traffic. The cool spring days we've had are perfect for bike riding so bring your bike and explore the Cape on two wheels. With miles of trails designed especially for cycling and with trails along the ocean, woods, salt marshes, bike riding has become one of the area's most popular activities.
There are trails for the beginner cyclist to the most avid cyclist. The Yarmouth Bike Trail runs 3 miles from Higgins Crowell Road to the town park at Old Townhouse Road. The park features a playground, soccer and baseball fields, and basketball courts. The most popular and longest trail, Cape Cod Rail Trail ,runs for 34 miles through the towns of Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet. The trail, which has been recently renovated in a $6.5 million project, is ideal for cyclists with its paved surface, few hill and bike rentals along the way. There is very scenic short trail at the National Seashore Visitor's Center at Salt Pond. For more information go to www.ccrailtrail.com.
