Adventure Kayaking: Trips in Cape Cod : Includes Cape Cod National Seashore (Adventure Kayaking)

By David Weintraub

Cape Cod is a paddler's paradise, a sandy arm thrust into the Atlantic Ocean with numerous bays, ponds, harbors, marshes, and tidal creeks to explore. Much of the Outer Cape, the forearm pointing north, is within Cape Cod National Seashore, giving it protected status and making it a favorite place among nature lovers and one of the best birding areas on the East Coast. One of the Cape's towns, Wellfleet, was recently named one of the 50 best places for outdoor sports in the US by Sports Afield magazine. Until now, however, information on where to paddle and where to find legal parking and access to launch sites has been hard to come by.In Adventure Kayaking: Trips in Cape Cod, author and photographer David Weintraub presents 25 of the best paddling routes on the Cape, designed for novice and experienced paddlers alike. The routes range from one-hour trips suitable for beginners and children to all-day adventures and even an option for overnight camping. Most of the paddling is in protected water, but a few venture into the open expanse of Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket Sound. This essential book includes detailed maps and trip descriptions, route distances, parking regulations and difficulty ratings as well as clear driving instructions and photos.
