Cape Cod Rail Trail
The Cape Cod Rail Trail follows a former railroad right-of-way for 22

Wellfleet. Its paved surface, few hills, and well-marked automobile
crossings make it ideal for cyclists. The trail has a wide unpaved
shoulder on one side to accommodate horseback riding, walkers, and
runners.

southeastern Massachusetts.
