What is Cash's Brook Trail like?

A quiet, lightly used trail following Cash's Brook through scrub pine and oak woodland near North Truro. The brook drains into a small freshwater pond before reaching the bay, making this a good spot for frogs, turtles, and songbirds. The trail is cool and shaded even in summer, a welcome contrast to the open beach.

Pamet River Valley Walk

A beautiful walk through the broad, glacially carved Pamet River valley — a peaceful freshwater and brackish river valley that cuts through the heart of Truro. The path follows the valley floor through marsh grass, cranberry bogs, and thicket, with the forested ridge rising on both sides. Birding is exceptional. The old Truro Youth Hostel (Bog House) is a historic landmark along the route.
