All the the had fresh new leaves, many were still in bloom. It was just beautiful. The bike way extends... More

Get off Main Street, take a break from the beach, and see classic scenes of the Cape from the bike path. It's in great shape, an will keep you in shape, too! There's sun and shade, views of marshes and ocean - lots going on to interest the whole family. More

I love this bike trail! Nice flat trail with beautiful and varied scenery, cranberry bogs, beaches, herring runs, lovely marshes. We like to bike from route 151 in North Falmouth to Woods Hole stop and have lunch at Pie in the Sky, walk around town and bike back. This is a ride you do not want to miss. Total ride... More

This bike path has recently been extended, so it now goes all the way from Woods Hole to Route 151 in North Falmouth, for a total of 10.7 miles. On the segment between Falmouth and Woods Hole, it's also used by rollerbladers and walkers as well, so the bike pace is a little slower than north of Falmouth. At points... More
