The Whistle Path Woods Trail at Whistle Path Woods in Provincetown, Massachusetts is an easy 0.4-mile out-and-back hike that leads through rolling forested dunes.

Hike Description
Hikers will find the trailhead along the Old Colony Nature Pathway, located approximately 0.18-miles from the parking area along Snail Road. This recording follows both north and southern paths of the Whistle Path Woods. The northern route leads to MA-6 and ends there - not much to see along the way except a tree rope swing as of April 2023.

The southern route similarly doesn't have much to see but rather is a nice quiet walk in the woods. The trail eventually ends at a private property at the end of a cul-de-sac. Please note there are private properties that sit adjacent to the trail, so please stay on-trail.

Parking
Hikers will find parking at the coordinates provided along Snail Road.

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 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) 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) 😎👍. 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 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
