Dash Point State Park is a great spot to add some variety to your ride. While the park’s 11 miles of trails are mostly for hiking, you can roll through the campground roads and explore the day-use areas. With over 3,000 feet of saltwater shoreline, it’s also a popular place to take a break by the water. If you’re planning a longer trip, there are cabins and campsites available too.

Love this bridge. Would love it more if the trail actually crossed over the old broken bridge just one tenth of a mile farther north...
