So cool to watch all the boats go by.

Beautiful scenic view of the Cape Cod Canal. I’ve fallen in love with the area and have been taking annual, summer trips there for the past 5+ years

The Cape Cod Canal, 17.5 miles (28 km) long, cuts across the base of the peninsula, separating it from the mainland; it shortens the shipping distance between New York City and Boston by more than 75 miles (120 km). It’s a nice walking and biking trail along the canal. Enough parking and good happy people all around. Good spot for a leisure family outing or picnic. Many picnic tables, restrooms and nearby camping areas. We started from the rail road bridge and it was nice to learn about the bridge architectural design. Did I mention about the kids play area? Yeah that’s a good place. Still closed due to pandemic. Kids missed that. However Rickie J. Teller recreation area after a mile of walk near the bridge was a consolation. It offered had jumping pillows, mini golf etc. Take a look at The fisherman’s statue - local fishing legend Stan Gibbs. Update - 5/28/2022 - Returned back next year with my 7yo son who enjoyed biking. We had a small picnic and then went for route 6a scenic drive. Also, learnt a little about the canal while we visited the nearby city's Sandwich glass museum.

Did some rollerblading along this area and it was beautiful! The path is great to walking, biking and rollerblading. The path is also very long, so definitely enough space to get tired.
