The Cape Cod Rail Trail follows a former railroad right-of-way for 22 miles through the towns of Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet. Its paved surface, few hills, and well-marked automobile crossings make it ideal for cyclists of all ages & abilities. From the rotary you can either head towards Harwich center & Chatham beyond that, or towards Nickerson State Park & on to Wellfleet.
The Stealth Trio thought there should be more caches along such a nice bike path & are doing what they can do to make that happen. We hope you enjoy them!
This section of the Orenda Wildlife Sanctuary is a 8.5 acre area that is located in both Orleans and Eastham and is a portion an estate that had been in the donor’s family for over 350 years. Both parcels are in the Boat Meadow Creek vicinity and provide salt marsh habitat for wildlife, including a red maple swamp. The Orleans parcel is directly adjacent to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, the Town of Orleans picnic area and park, and 20 acres of Eastham conservation land. It also abuts a 16-acre property where a home once owned by the donor’s family is located. The sanctuary is named in memory of the donor’s family members who spent many hours at the Arnold Arboretum creating a very special landscape plan for this property and supervised the installation of every tree and ornamental shrub, creating a natural haven for birds and mammals.
