Magnificent, Especially at Low Tide
On a PERFECT Cape Cod day (sunny, dry, mid-70’s with a light breeze), we hiked the main trail out to the water. Always before, I’d had to stop about 3/4’s of the way out because the Segway I use for mobility couldn’t handle the water. But this time the tide was so low I could make it out WAY further than ever before. What a beautiful place! The trail starts out in woods, emerges to a tidal pond, then proceeds via three stretches of wooden slat causeway out to the marsh and water. everything about this place is simply miraculous.

Very nice walk
Enjoyed our hike here on the holiday weekend. Exposed areas were chilly with lots of wind, and at high tide some areas were not accessible. Buildings and bathrooms are closed at this time, but plenty of parking and a box to make payment at made the visit easy. Paths could be better marked. I know there is a trail that goes north from the building based on their maps, but couldn't find any markers in that direction
