Cape Cod is a paradise for cycling enthusiasts, with several scenic bike trails winding through its beautiful landscapes. The Shining Sea Bike Path is a favorite, stretching 10.7 miles from Falmouth to Woods Hole, offering breathtaking views of marshlands, coastline, and even a section alongside the Vineyard Sound. Another popular option is the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which spans 25 miles across several towns from Yarmouth to Wellfleet, providing riders with a smooth, well-maintained path through forests, cranberry bogs, and scenic ponds. This trail is ideal for riders of all levels and features plenty of spots to stop and explore the charming towns along the way.
For those in the Chatham area, the Old Colony Rail Trail connects to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, offering an additional 8 miles of serene riding through some of the Cape’s most picturesque villages. It's important to note that many of these trails may be a short distance from vacation homes, and reaching them may require navigating narrow roads that can be challenging for cyclists until they reach the designated path. However, most trailheads offer convenient parking nearby, allowing easy access if you'd prefer to drive to start your adventure. Whether you're an avid cyclist or just looking for a leisurely ride, Cape Cod’s bike trails offer a wonderful way to explore the area’s natural beauty.
