Description
The entire route is mostly flat, aside from a few mellow grades in places. Most people will have no problem riding, running, or walking this trail.
The route shown here is a point-to-point ride, run, or hike along the CCRT. However, you can easily make this route shorter by using a set of different trailheads or access points or by completing an out-and-back and turning around sooner. For a full-blooded road ride, consider turning this into a 50-mile out-and-back ride. If you're looking for bonus miles, some maps also show an additional few miles of trail running further west from the South Dennis trailhead.
