Biking Massachusetts: The Cape Cod Rail Trail

Published 2022-04-22
Follow 19th century rail lines that carried vacations to the once remote peninsula of Cape Cod from Boston and New York City. This 27.5 mile rail trail is completely paved and mostly flat. Ride past sandy beaches, salt marshes, pine forests, and cranberry bogs. And the the only US site of attack by the Germans in WWI.

    I ride this trail quite often. This is a great video capture of it. Have to finish it off with a lobster roll at Cobie’s in Brewster.

    What I SO enjoy beyond your filmed scenery, is that your E-assist riding could not possibly be noticed. My Hase recumbent trike, having E-assist, is not noticeable in my riding either. That is proudly how E-assist should be used!

    I'll be getting one soon-- trying to find the best trails in Mass
  • Is it the camera angle, or aren't those tunnels too small for a train to go though? Another wonderful video from you guys.

    WOW! We parked at the Barnstable airport, rode 3 miles to the secret trailhead that goes through a golf course! We packed up our bike trailers and went camping at the end of the trail! (Well, pretty close to it).

    That’s an awesome trail. There’s a detour in Eastham where you can connect to the the Nauset trail to Coast Guard Beach.

    Nice ride! Thanks for sharing. I need to ride this. I did not notice any of the obnoxiously narrow iron gate crossings on this trail, (e.g. Ashtiwillticook) at least on your video. That's a good thing too.

    How many miles round trip? Is it easy to get lost?

    As of February 7, 2023, Massachusetts finally amended the state law to allow Class 1 & Class 2 e-bikes the same privileges as regular bikes and not categorized them as a "motorized vehicle". FINALLY!
