Rent a bike or bring your own to take advantage of the nearby Cape Cod Rail Trail. This famous bike path follows the path of an old railroad for 22 miles of flat and paved scenic roads. Hit the bike trail from Chatham to Wellfleet to explore the enchanting spring scenery and to take a breath of fresh air. They are plenty of areas to stop for food, relaxation, bird watching, and other exciting wildlife sightings.

This trail makes for a relaxing outdoor adventure full of exciting sceneries.
Get away from it all with a hike on one of Cape Cod’s many rugged and not so rugged trails. In addition to miles of beaches that provide a wonderful walking environment, there are twelve absolutely gorgeous walking trails that are not to be missed. Our favorites are Great Island Trail (8 miles round trip), Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail (1.2 miles), and Nauset Marsh (2.5 miles ). Stroll through these gentle landscapes that include forests, marshes, boardwalks, and swamps. Use the Salt Pond Visitor Center as your starting point when exploring these beautiful trails.
