The Railroad Bridge, one of the few vertical lift bridges in the country, moves downward to allow a train to cross, then moves up out of the way to allow boats to cross under it. It is so fun to watch. The Cape Cod Train leaves the Buzzards Bay station on Fridays at 12 pm and is a two hour train ride, so you may want to come around those times to see the bridge lowered. There is plenty of free parking and bathrooms with water fountains, picnic tables, benches, and a children's playground and waterpark. You can start walking or biking on the Cape Cod Canal trail at this point, and it is fun to watch the fisherman, birds, seals, and people.

Easy place to walk or bike as it is completely paved. Lots of trails to check out & they are all clearly marked. The view is outstanding & there are so many things to see. There are usually people fishing & you can see the fish jumping in the water! Very cool to see all the boats that come through the canal. There are plenty of places to park.

Nice spot for a bike ride or a walk . It's along the canal goes past the two auto bridges and ends at the train bridge. The other end ends at the ocean. All flat not too long probably about a half hour each way on a bike. Better ride is the rail trail that runs from Dennis up to Wellfleet, but this is a nice shorter ride.

Beautiful park with free parking on the mainland side with large picnic pavilion, bathrooms, gazebo, fisherman tribute & statue, beginning of canal bike trail and the engineering marvel- the railroad bridge. Great view of Bourne Bridge.
