Parking is located right off Osterville-West Barnstable Rd. Take Route 6 to Exit 5 and head south on Rt. 149. When it forks to the right, take the left-hand road, Osterville-W. Barnstable, and travel maybe 700 yds. until you see a narrow half-moon pulloff on your right. Parking is plentiful, and the trailhead is conveniently located directly at the center of this lot.

Otis Atwood looks deceptively easy. But don't let this trail's initial appearance fool you. It makes up for smooth, hard dirt/pine needle terrain with tight, devilish curves and turns. Mix this in with thick conifer groves and you've got a recipe for some narrow, sinewy singletrack complete with short, steep climbs and quick descents. There is a small amount of hardpack here, but nothing to write home about.

At just under 2 miles, the whole loop can be completed in less than 30 minutes at a good clip. This area is very popular with dog walkers, so be sure to watch the trail ahead of you carefully. Its ideal for training rides, as two to four laps can guarantee you a decent workout and much fun.
