This section of the Cape Cod Rail Trail in Brewster, Massachusetts is an easy 1.8-mile out-and-back walk that follows a paved and universally accessible bike path through the woods.

Hike Description
This is less of a hike and more of a long flat walk, but regardless is a really nice and quiet walk in Brewster. The walk begins at the Nickerson State Park parking lot for the Cape Cod Rail Trail and follows the paved path heading east. Walkers will encounter the most-interesting point-of-interest along the trail right away - simply a metal tunnel underpass. Albeit, this walk was quiet due to the season (late March); however, most folks use this trail for biking, hence, for walkers the trail is generally pretty quiet as bikers will come and go pretty quickly.

This recording only follows the trail east for approximately 0.9-miles and turns around at the Seaview Rd junction, hence the 1.8-mile out-and-back walk; however, the entire length of the Cape Cod Rail Trail is much longer as it extends through pretty much the entire Cape.

Parking
Walkers will find parking at the coordinates provided, located at the northern-most Nickerson State Park entrance.

Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and cleaned up after.

Water Bottle Station
During warmer months, there's a functioning water bottle refill station at the trailhead.

Restrooms
During warmer months, there are open restrooms at the trailhead.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time ๐Ÿ•ฆ, money ๐Ÿ’ฐ, and effort (including espresso shots โ˜•) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free ๐ŸŽ‰

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!๏ธ
