About This Trail

A gentle boardwalk nature trail connecting to the Fort Hill area in Eastham, winding through a lush red maple and oak swamp with remnants of a once-inhabited Native American village. The 1.8-mile combined loop offers gorgeous views of salt marsh, outer beach, and ocean with very little elevation gain.
