First Day Hike: The Gut to Herring River Overlook Trail - WELLFLEET

This is an out and back 2-mile, 2-hour guided walk sponsored by Wellfleet Conservation Trust, Friends of the Herring River and Friends of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The walk features the Wellfleet Conservation Trust Herring River Overlook land and trail. The walk includes a brief road section, including crossing the new bridge on Chequessett Neck Road where the water control structure for the Herring River Restoration Project has been completed.

The walk will include short talks on why Great Island was included in the Cape Cod National Seashore, a Native American burial site, information on the restoration project, and the acquisition by the Wellfleet Conservation Trust of the beautiful land overlooking the Herring River. The walk is similar to the one offered the past few years.
