About This Trail

Imported description

You can take a loop ride around the coast of Gloucester by car or bike. It is a loop around Gloucester, Rockport and Anniquam. I've included a number of places that you should check out, including a beach and several state parks. If you stop at the beaches and enjoy yourself, the sunset at Plum Cove is unbelievable. This tour is great for road biking.
