Cape Cod Rail Trail, Rail trail in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, US.
The Cape Cod Rail Trail extends 25 miles through six coastal towns, connecting South Dennis to Wellfleet with paved paths for cyclists and pedestrians.
In 1970, the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources transformed the former New Haven Railroad tracks into a recreational trail for public use.
The trail connects multiple communities, offering access to regional landmarks, local shops, seafood restaurants, and beaches along the eastern Massachusetts coast.
Multiple access points with free parking lots exist along the route, while bicycle rentals and restroom facilities are available at designated stations.
During winter months, the trail transforms into a cross-country skiing destination when snow covers the former railroad path.
