TrailEasy · 2 mi · Natural trail
Quiet conservation trails through woodland and salt marsh bordering Scorton Creek, one of the most ecologically rich tidal creek systems on Cape Cod. The creek is a prime spot for herons, egrets, and osprey. A canoe or kayak launch is accessible from the trailhead, making this popular with paddlers as well as walkers and birders.
Easy · 2.5 mi · Mixed
About 2.5 miles of easy walking trails through ~246 acres of remarkably diverse wetland habitat: stone walls, abandoned cranberry bogs, tidal and freshwater streams, open marsh, and hardwood swamp. The northern trail toward Route 6A crosses a boardwalk and two bridges with views over Bridge Creek marsh, excellent for birdwatching. Connects to Jenkins Wildlife Sanctuary and Bridge Street Conservation Area for longer loops.
Moderate · 6.5 mi · Sand
The main trail system traversing Sandy Neck's barrier beach and dune complex — one of the largest undeveloped barrier beaches on the East Coast. Trails wind through ancient dunes, pitch pine/oak forest, and salt marsh. The outer beach walk along Cape Cod Bay offers sweeping views. A truly wild Cape Cod experience. Dogs permitted on leash. Expect soft sand — sturdy footwear advised.
Moderate · Natural trail
At ~1,200 acres, this is the largest town conservation area on Cape Cod, famous among riders as the 'Trail of Tears' (TOT). Roughly 20+ miles of twisty, rolling singletrack wind through pine-oak forest with short technical climbs, rock gardens, and patches of soft sand. Primarily a mountain-biking destination, it's also popular for hiking, trail running, and cross-country skiing. Note: hunting is permitted in season, so wear blaze orange in fall/winter.
