The 22-mile-long Cape Cod Rail Trail follows a former railway through several towns in the mid-Cape area of southeastern Massachusetts. It runs from Dennis to Wellfleet. The trail is paved and is an easy ride with few hills and well-denoted automobile crossings.

The trail features a cycle path as well as an unpaved section designated as multi-use. The trail is popular among cyclists, walkers, joggers, and horseback riders. In the winter, the trail is also used for cross-country skiing. The trial passes through many scenic areas of Cape Cod and is a relaxing and beautiful place to spend a few hours or days.
