After crossing Pleasant Lake Avenue—1. Signage marks a cut-through to visit the Island Pond Conservation Lands, perfect for walking and hiking. The trail ends at the next roundabout and connects with the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which continues both west and north. About 8 miles from Orleans, turn right onto Old Harbor Road.
Take the first exit onto Main St. After the gas station on the corner, take the first right possible, leading into a parking lot connected to a park complex. About 5 miles east of Harwich port, turn left onto Depot Road. A park is located on the right and the trail is on the left. Here, parking is available along either side of Depot Road.
An additional parking lot is located on the opposite side of the park. To reach it, continue on Depot Road 0. The closest access point by car is a parking lot located at the intersection of Pleasant Lake Ave. The trail continues 0.
Once we hit the bike rotary around the 3 mile mark, we got onto the Old Colony. At this point, you can also continue on the CCRT. The scenery on this trail changes from cranberry bogs to ponds to forest in 8 short miles. There are many road crossings and some road riding. Road crossings are well marked and easy to follow. Services along the trail, like food and restrooms, are also well marked. The trail is reasonably flat with some small hills on the latter part. The trail ends near the old Chatham train depot, which is now a museum.
The museum doesn't open until mid-June.
The Nauset Trail offers a winding route through dense Cape Cod woodlands, providing a pleasant respite from the oft-crowded seashore and tourist hubs The Old Colony Rail Trail is a 5. An extension to the Cape Cod Rail Trail that extends through the community of Yarmouth is completed in several sections.
The extension does not connect to the main Cape Cod Rail Trail at this time. The trail offers miles of travel through the forested areas of Cape Cod, past residential neighborhoods, a chance to see the quaint villages along the way, views of the wetlands and the coves and abundant wildlife. The route is away from roads and passes a number of parks and open spaces.
Some sections have a wide unpaved shoulder for horses and runners. The trail is open for non-motorized use such as bike riding, walking and running. The trail is relatively flat and appropriate for families.
Cash only but really good bar if recommend visiting for a drink. Word of warning, avoid the gents toilets if possible. Quite a strange setup of Great prices, ambiance, and people watching. Just the other night we saw some one dragged out by another patron and beaten.
Typical dive bar behavior. If these wall could talk ,you would get a lesson in history. It's got to be well over a hundred years old. If you go to p-town and don't stop here for a couple drinks you haven't been to p-town!!!
By far the best bar in the area!!! Beer is super cold all the time!! Always a great time!! The atmosphere and staff are also great!
Map updates are paused. Nice bike ride down the Cape Cod Rail Trail with my daughter and her awesome friends. Ask peepff about Old Colony Tap. A good place for a few drinks to start your night, but not to spend a lot of time. What a place to experience local color at its finest.
Went here solely because Anthony Bourdain visited on his show. Stopped in for a beer and bought a T-shirt. We walked by this place many times on other visits to Ptown, we looked in, and kept walking. It is dark and dingy, the bar stools are ripped from years of use, crooked floors, but it offers cold beer and a lot of conversation.
Great place to stop for a drink while you shop. Nice atmosphere and people. Close to the water. Was here on a recent Friday afternoon.
The place is loaded with character and a few characters as well. Friendly place overall and I met a few resident artists who helped me select a dinner place and other attractions.
