The scenery is spectacular -- marshes, shore birds, ocean, historic homes, easy access to services at several points. Friendly neighborhoods.

Spectacular views Some sections felt secluded at times if alone Safe for walking with toddlers, strollers if you pay attention to bicycle riders A real taste of Falmouth and The Cape

Great for a easy stroll through marsh, coast or back yards. This is a must if you are in the area for any length of time

We rode this bikeway twice: we parked at the parking lot and instead of taking the bus to the Woods Hole ferry, we rode our bicycles there (about 3 miles down). The second time, we rode the whole way. It is very pleasant. I recommend that you bring a snack and stop and sit and watch the waves at the... More

We biked this trail starting at the 13 County Hwy end-point in North Falmouth down to the Woods Hole Ferry terminal in Woods Hole -- a distance of about 10.5 miles (21 miles round trip). It's a very nice paved trail, mostly through lightly wooded areas and with a few miles next to the sea as you get near Woods... More

Even on a drizzly day, we had a great bike ride along this beautiful, scenic trail. Mostly flat and paved, it's a great trail for young children.

Beautiful paved walk right beside the ocean. On a clear day you can see all the way to Martha's Vineyard. This walk takes you to Woods Hole if you want to go the entire distance. Good for walkers, bikers, skates, strollers; for the whole family ! Benches along the way if you get tired.

Great place to walk or bike. Several interesting side trips off the bikeway plus they have people who keep it clean, very impressed.
