Leg #2 – Sandwich to Hyannis
The second leg of this journey (and segment) starts as you pass the guard house of Shawme-Crowell State Forest. This leg contains the lowest percentage of pavement of the four routes and features many of the most popular single-track options on the Upper Cape. Expect the trails to be fast and flowy. The route clocks in at an approachable 28 miles and you might even have enough energy at the finish at Cape Cod Beer to hoist a couple of cold ones. The segment ends as you enter the brewery parking lot. The brewery allows you to have food delivered if you’re feeling a bit peckish. If you’re looking for lodging, the Best Western Cape Cod is less than half a mile away.

Sub-legs:
Leg 2a – This segment (13.2 miles) begins at the guard house on the access road to Shawme-Crowell State Park and terminates at the Sandwich / West Barnstable town line on Popple Bottom Road as the trail leaves the pavement and enters WBCA. The end of the segment is accessible by car and there is some parking available.
Leg 2b – This segment (14.8 miles) begins at the Sandwich / West Barnstable town line on Popple Bottom Road as the trail leaves the pavement and enters WBCA. This segment terminates at Phinney’s Lane in Hyannis directly across from Cape Cod Beer’s parking lot.
