Cape Cod National Seashore is always busy keeping their trails up-to-date and safe for everyone to enjoy. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
We took a hike at the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail last week and noticed that there is some work being done on the boardwalk over the swamp.
You can still enjoy most of the boardwalk and the swamp by entering on the opposite side as shown in the photograph.
It’s such a great hike for the whole family! Have you ever been on it?
The Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail is a favorite for the entire family. There is so much diversity on the trail. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It’s a beautiful hike through the woods and then on the boardwalk that takes you over the swamp. This time of year, it’s pretty dry, but in the spring and summer it can be really wet.
It’s not too long or too strenuous and there is so much to see that it’s perfect for the whole family. It’s one of our favorite trails any time of the year.
When you take the Great Island Trail in Wellfleet, you can either go in toward the woods to the Tavern and then out to Jeremy Point or you can hike over the trails in the dunes and go straight to the beach. (Click on blog link for more photos.)
Either hike is just spectacular! You can see the expansiveness of the beach in the first photograph. In the 2nd and 3rd photos you can see the trails over the dunes that you can take to get to the beach.
Whatever you choose on this trail is a win/win for you! It is all breath-taking!
The Great Island Trail in Wellfleet is one for the whole family! There are so many variations, it’s easy to choose one, or two, that everyone will love. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
After you park at the lot, you walk down the trail until you reach the sand by the marsh which you can see in the 2nd photograph.
You can follow the trail out to Smith Tavern, Great Beach Hill or Jeremy Point, depending on which fork in the trail you take. Whichever one you take, the views are spectacular!
