Cape Cod Canal
We love to ride our bikes along the army engineer access roads between the railroad and the canal.
Here is a tug pushing a fuel oil barge towards the Westerly end, its empty, having just unloaded at our power plant.
There is good fishing in the canal too, people cast from the rocky shore. We go thru here occasionally in our little boat, but its not safe for little boats(forget kayaking here), as there are large boats coming thru, and they sure can set up a nasty wake. The tide runs thru very very fast too, so you must time your passage carefully not to be going against the tide. Mass Maritime Academy is on the Western end.
And the RR Bridge is the second longest lift bridge in USA. And the CCCanal is the widest canal in the world!
There are actually 3 bridges, 2 for cars and trucks. Sometimes in summer, there are simoultaneous accidents on both bridges, and nobody can get off or on to Cape Cod.
