We love the canal. Have been coming here for 30 years. Nice to walk or bike ride. We also love to fish.

Did the Cape Cod Canal Bike trail starting from Tidal Flats Recreation Area. Both the Rec area and the trail are awesome

Great stop, great park! Went with my 19 year old son. I played Ingress and he went salt water fishing. If you're within a few hours drive, worth the time to take s looks see!

Beautiful park with free parking on the mainland side with large picnic pavilion, bathrooms, gazebo, fisherman tribute & statue, beginning of canal bike trail and the engineering marvel- the railroad bridge. Great view of Bourne Bridge.

The Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge is lowered when a train has to cross the Canal...Some Day's more times than others.I have seen the trains cross around Supper Time.Sometimes between 4 pm and 7 pm. Give or take..Before the train crosses the Green Light on the top center of the bridge ,changes to a Red Light..The train rings a bell then blows the train horn ,before it crosses...I smile each time I watch the process..weights rise up as the bridge is lowered...Enjoy it is amazing to watch
