Cape Cod Rail Trail - Wellfleet Extension Project

April 2022: Spring Update

DCR and our Contractors are getting ready to resume activities for this spring on the CCRT extension to the Wellfleet Hollow Campground.

Remaining activities include:

• Final paving of the Rail Trail top course

• Installation of safety fencing at Lecount Hollow parking lot

• Additional planting and invasive species control

• Installation of benches and bike racks

We expect the Lecount Hollow Parking area and the rail trail to be substantively open in late spring, and are looking to schedule a formal opening event in June.

Note: The full Phase 1 Project Plans are available via the link provided below.

DCR has initiated Phase 1 construction of this extension project.  Phase one will extend the trail from the Lecount Hollow Parking Lot and Trailhead to DCR’s Wellfleet Hollow Campground.  DCR will also be doing some site work at the DCR-owned parcel on Route 6 near Oriole Lane.  However, at the request of the Town, DCR will not be constructing the trail from the Campground to Route 6 at this time.

The Lecount Hollow Parking Lot and Trailhead will be closed to the public for the duration of the project.
