Shining Sea Bikeway

Reviewed By MingO_11 - Boston, United States

This is arguably the most scenic bike trail in Cape Cod. It has almost everything Cape Cod bike trails have to offer: the marsh, the cranberry bog, picturesque cape towns, and of course the shining sea. A few tips: Near the Woods Hole terminus of the trail, there is a very good bakery called Pie in the Sky, which is a good stop to refuel. Also from there, the Nobska lighthouse is close by (~1 mile away), which also worth a side trip.

The Cape Cod Canal Bikeway

Reviewed By Northern_Traveler00 - Boston, United States

Lots of people walking, biking and fishing along the canal on this wide and smooth paved path that runs 6.5 miles on each side of the canal. Quite a few entry points, so you can explore different parts of the walkway. Not alot of mask wearing, especially among the bicyclists

Upper Charles Bike Trail

Reviewed By Travellinguy2013 - Dallas, United States

This paved path goes along the course of the Charles river head waters, and an old granite transport rail way, with some informational signs along the way. Where it crosses the very busy route 85, there is an automatic crossing light. There is a parking lot at one end and about two mile trail that passes a couple nice ponds and ends up in downtown Milford.

Minuteman Trail Bikeway

This 10-mile paved path covers part of the route of Paul Revere's midnight ride.

Reviewed By oldbiker52

The Minuteman rail trail runs from Bedford to Cambridge, Ma. 12 miles one way. It is a very well maintained trail rich in history. The trail runs along the side of Lexington green the site of the Revolutionary battle. Bedford, Arlington and Cambridge are also rich with history. There are two addition trails that start in Bedford. One of which leads to the Old North Bridge in Concord five miles away. Definitely worth the ride or hike.

Norwottuck Rail Trail

Ten-mile bike path on the old tracks of the Boston and Maine railroad.

Reviewed By 180larryp - Northampton, United States

I run on the Norwottuck Rail Trail. It's perfect: clean, scenic, mostly flat-flatty-flat-flat. This trail, this route, this option is one of the reasons I'm so happy to live in the Connecticut River Valley.
