Great for a walk or bike ride. Grassy areas along paved path to sit. Some benches and picnic tables. Out houses for restrooms, not sure if they are permanent or due to Covid- you must take your own trash out with you although there are a few barrels. Always a nice breeze and lots of boats to watch on the canal. If you hit the time right you may see the railroad bridge come down and a train cross. The bridge itself is a marvel really. Not sure why I enjoy watching it so much but I do! Would be nice if there was more in the area- not a whole lot more to do than sit (or ride/ walk) no extra things to do. Bike rentals are available nearby. Not sure I would bring young wild ones with me- paved path then steep rocky slope into the canal... Not sure if you ended up in the canal you would get out! The currents are...

If you happen to like railroads and if you have a day to spend doing something different while you're on the Cape near the Canal, go to Buzzard's Bay and get on the 9:20 train to Hyannis on Saturday or Sunday. Round trip fare is $8.00 (seniors is $4.00). You get to go over the historic railroad bridge and spend the day in Hyannis. The train crew does too and then at 6:40 pm, after all the ferries from Nantucket get back to Hyannis, the train leaves for Boston's South Station. Get off in Buzzard's Bay, get back in your car and head out. We had two dogs, they were welcomed by the conductor and even though they were nervous on the way out, after walking all day in Hyannis, they slept like babies on...

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,...

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.
