[MERRILY CASSIDY/CAPE COD TIMES] SummerTimes 2017 | 9 The Cape Cod Canal: Don’t just drive by ou can’t get onto Cape Cod without crossing one of its most famous bodies of water: The Cape Cod Canal. The canal stretches for 17.5 miles from points of land on its east and west ends, separating Cape Cod from mainland Massachusetts.Y Thousands and thousands of visitors drive over its Sagamore and Bourne bridges every summer, but the canal is worth a stop on its own. There are about 7 miles of paved walking/cycling paths on each side of the canal, and it’s a great place to fish, lobster, boat or just sit and watch the boats go by. Even better: Bring a picnic. At the Midway Recreation Point on the south side of the Canal – about 1½ miles east of the Bourne Bridge – there’s even a large picnic pavilion, with grills, tables and a fireplace. About 14,000 commercial and recreational boats use the waterway every year – no sailing allowed, though. If you don’t have your own boat, Hy-Line Cruises offers various cruises along the canal, including a standard three-hour sightseeing cruise, a Sunset Cocktail Cruise, and a Dixieland Jazz Cruise. Details: www.hylinecruises.com/cape-cod-canal-cruises. Stop by the free Cape Cod Canal Visitor Center, at 60 Ed Moffitt Drive in Sandwich, which is like a museum for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (which maintains the canal) and canal history, with lots of interactive exhibits. The Cape Cod Canal stretches for 17.5 miles from points of land Information: 508-833-9678, www.nae.usace.army.mil/ on its east and west ends.
