Wellfleet has a wonderful, short (approx. 1 mile long) hiking trail located at the Marconi Station Site off if Route 6. The trail begins off of the parking lot, near the rest rooms. It is a sandy path that leads to the cedar swamp. The cedar swamp itself has a boardwalk through it to keep your feet dry. The return trip to the parking lot is again on a sandy path. The actual "swamp" part of the trail is truly amazing and other worldly. The trees are unlike any of the others you see on the Outer Cape (which are mostly scrub oak and pitch pine). It is an easy walk and fine for the entire family. Keep in mind that it is a swamp and particularly on hot, humid days, you would be well advised to bring and use insect repellant unless slapping yourself is one of your favorite pasttimes.
