Many of our early walkers started out on this trail, and it remains a favorite for its scenic views and rich history. The route winds through the woods and along the edge of Nauset Marsh, revealing stories of glaciers, the First People, settlement culture, and early tourism, plus beautiful views of the Nauset Estuary and barrier beach.
