The Cape Cod Rail Trail is a paved, multi-use path running about 25 miles from Dennis to Wellfleet along a former railroad bed. Its Brewster stretch passes forests, cranberry bogs and ponds, and in East Brewster it connects to the 8 miles of paved trails inside Nickerson State Park. Flat and fully paved, it is ideal for family biking, walking, jogging and wheelchair use.
