Bikes canals and…read moresunsets The Sandwich Conservation Area is basically a parking lot and small area right on the south east corner of the Cape Cod Canal. It's a great place to park for someone that wants to ride the south side of the bike path that runs the length of the canal. The parking lot of fairly large but in the summer months can get filled up remarkable quickly. Bikers, walkers as well as fishermen and photographers, flock here in the nice weather. There are relatively clean bathrooms as well as drinking fountains and benches. And of course the views are spectacular. Ships or all types going by and large birds flying and diving in water. At sunset the light over the water is pretty amazing, especially with the massive Sagamore Bridge looming in the distance. The Sandwich Conservation Area really isn't a whole lot more than a parking lot. It's what's around the parking lot that makes this area so cool.

The app prompts you not to pay until you get there as you may not have a spot even if you already pre-paid. Pros: bathroom facilities and outdoor showers Snack bar if needed Parking cheaper compared to other beaches on the Cape For us this beach was much closer to where we were staying. Cons: Water was freezing(mid 60s). This may be also viewed as a pro as it felt really cooling after being in it but does take time to get used to. The kids in the group had a hard time venturing any further than knee height. Walk to and from parking lot/ bathroom was a little long. The sand can be a little pebbly.

Lots of ups and downs but nothing really strenuous although in the snow or icy weather it can get really slippery. You literally slide right down into the canal when the ice is mean. Perhaps the best thing about this trail is that it goes along the Cape Cod Canal and Bike Path for much of the way. You can watch the people go by on the bike trail or better yet all the boats on the canal. Lots of lovely sailboats, freighters, tankers and tugs pulling barges. You even get to see trains on the other side of the canal and if you're lucky you might see the cool, old lift railroad bridge moving up or down or perhaps a train gong over it. A nice little path with some really nice scenery. The path isn't that long or difficult but you can always park you bike, do the hike and then ride some more on bike path. Makes for a lovely day.

Water is pretty shallow quite a ways out.

Like most coastal defense forts, the guns were never fired in anger and were removed after the war. The fort was decommissioned and turned into a park. The site has wide and open trails in the beginning and getting to the site where the old guns were is pretty easy. You can see a few remains of the artillery battery but the main attraction is the great views of the ocean and hills around Sagamore. The site is a nice place for some hiking, easy off road bike riding or snow shoeing and cross country skiing in the winter. However if you try and complete the whole loop be advised that the trail narrows considerably after you reach the artillery site and in the summer gets over grown with impressive thorns, very healthy poison ivy and hordes of ticks. A pleasant and seldom used place that offers a bit of history, great views of the ocean or some exercise. But like many trails in this area it's probably best left till the cold weather.
