If you know anything about Cape Cod, you know it’s not like the Berkshires. Hikers come here for a completely different kind of scenery, and their Cape outings are certainly more horizontal than vertical.
Cape Cod, despite its lack of mountains or other harsh terrain, has an impressive range of hiking trails for all skill levels – many of them featuring views of the water that you just can’t get from Route 6.
So strap on your boots and get out and see the Cape from the inside.
Here we count down the seven best places to hike on the Cape:
Fort Hill, Eastham
Hike Time: One hour The pinnacle of Cape Cod trails has to be Fort Hill. From the “summit” of this path, you can see into Nauset Marsh – an area so famous it inspired two famed works on naturalism. The walk brings hikers through a marsh, a swamp, and rolling pastures of beach grass. You’ll find rabbits and plenty of other small furry creatures here, as well as deer, fox and marine life. The trail is also one of the best birding locations on Cape Cod.

All these trails to hike, any of them dog friendly? Underleash for sure, but my lab loves to hike too.
I would google for the individual location to see if their website says anything about dogs. I, too, am interested in taking my dog hiking. Always on leash; always pick up after her!
That is a reaⅼly good tip particulɑrlʏ tо those fresh to tһe blogosphere.

A shout-out to Beebe Woods in Falmouth. Wonderful paths and a kettle hole.
We go to Four Ponds often. And we take our dog with us too. Great area and great hike if trails.
Just hiked there with friends for first time last week–beautiful waters and wildflowers!
All great places, but all are loaded with ticks. Keep your eyes open, after your hike. Search your clothes, skin. Lyme Disease is not a fun thing.
This is a good tip eѕpecially tο those new to the blⲟgosphere.
