This walk has breath taking vews of the ocean and iner waterways. The swamp is ofen closed due to dear ticks but that is not the main attraction here, It's the water.

This is a really lovely place - the micro climate is so unusual and the walk is wonderful. Changes for every season. Nice and cool on a hot summer day.

This is a non-strenuous (but there is a decent hill and roots/rocks, so not for those who don't care for the woods) walk through the woods and swamp that is quiet and truly lovely. The ecosystem is unique and the boardwalk-type hike around the swamp is very enjoyable. Tucked down in the woods the wind was minimal on the cold...

Beautiful microclimate in the National Seashore....a boardwalk thru this interesting white cedar area...silent...shaded...lovely peaceful walk you will enjoy. Some of it is sand road, but no hills or difficult walking. Be sure to see the ocean overlook at the other end of the parking lot for 360 degree view!

This much anticipated hike proved a disappointment, but perhaps the grey, drizzling weather didn’t help. Signposting isn’t good either and after turning off Route 6 just South of Wellfleet, we headed down Marconi Beach Road to the very large parking before realising we’d made a mistake and should have followed the Marconi Station Road (first left after turning off Route...

We loved this, it's beautiful, such a treat. It only takes a half hour or so to do this walk and it is well worth it.

A short hike that is well worth your time. In early autumn the swamp wasn't very swampy but there were lots of birds to see and hear - as well as lots of interesting trees and other plants well adapted to survive in this harsh coastal habitat. And it was nice and quiet - I think we only met one...

A walk through the cedar swamp could have been better if there were more signs identifying what we were seeing and why it was there.

Just off Rte 6 at the Marchoni Station site, this short (1 mile) hike is worth the time. The trail winds down to a Atlantic White Cedar swamp behind the beach dunes that is accessed via a boardwalk. Magical and mystical, it's great for kids and I used to take my daughter there in all seasons. In the summer it...
