Indian Trail

We all know about the Cape Cod Rail Trail. It’s open, paved in most places and easily accessible. Now what kind of fun is that?! You want to explore? Good. Join me on a quest to find the paths, off the beaten path. I found one not too far from here just off Old Bass River Road, park in the Town Offices parking lot, it’s all the “Indian Trail”. Now while I have not explored all of it, the major parts of it I have. It’s a quiet walk in the woods, even with the houses scattered across the inlet, you still feel separated from the main. Since the path winds in and out of the woods on that small inlet island, you get to see things that you normally wouldn’t walking down the Seashore. Brilliantly colored hermit crabs, digging in the sand. How amusing they are to watch, you can spend quite a while just sitting there enjoying their antics. From the fights to the flinging of sand and they are quite content to let you, as long as you don’t get too close. If you do, they will disappear into their holes quicker than you can blink.
