Confirmed from Eddy Bay Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular forested trail that overlooks Cape Cod Bay.
What runners say about Eddy Bay Trail
“Lovely dog friendly path that is about a 15min walk to a sand cliff with a beautiful overlook of the bay.”
“This was a short and easy walk to a beautiful scenic view of the Cape.”
A nice loop for someone who just wants a breath of woodsy air without the commitment of a long hike. The walk took about 20 minutes, and I was treated to a lovely view of the bay halfway through. I enjoyed the various informative signs along the way. I went during the off-season, so I had the place to myself.
This was a short and easy walk to a beautiful scenic view of the Cape. The path is narrow, so bring a mask to comfortably pass others.
Fantastic trail! A hidden gem with lots of different bird calls in the air, and history along the way. It’s advertised as a loop but really it’s an out and back with a circle loop at the ends. The overlook at the end is perched atop the last wild hilltop on Cape Cod Bay in Brewster. In 2000, Ruth N.
A true town trail. Just the right length and a great treat at the end. This is an out and back again trail that goes through a dying scrub pine forest that is transitioning to oaks. The end point is a magnificent overlook with a sweeping vista of Cape Cod Bay.
