Cape Cod Canal bike ride

Meet in the parking lot of the Cape Cod Canal visitor center at 11:00

We will ride south on the east side of the canal and then cross over to Buzzards Bay where we will stop for lunch before continuing back on the west side.

This bikeway follows the Cape Cod Canal through sections of Bourne and Sagamore, respectively. Partially maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers, it offers fantastic views of the canal's various boat traffic, along with the area's quaint shoreline scenery of unique homes and natural beauty.
The path is actually the canal access road, a paved route designated for government vehicles, foot traffic and non-motorized vehicles only. It runs for approximately 7 - 8 miles (each side) between the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges. Featuring a wide road with minimal grades, it is ideal for beginner to casual cyclists, especially families with younger children.
