  • One of the better, more peaceful and less visited preserves in the Long Island region. We enjoyed seeing the osprey perches, birds and ground squirrels all running around. The red trail is 1.5...

  • If this gem is not on your bucket list of trails then your bucket list is severely deficient! WOW is all I can say. So many options. Spectacular views. Well marked and maintained trails wide enough to walk side by side with your honey if you’d like! The trails are easy to light moderate and take you through open fields, under a canopy of trees and along the shore. If you travail in July or August you might enjoy some of nature’s treats - wild raspberries in abundance. My only complaint is dogs are not allowed. But sometimes they need a day off. If you walk the whole trail, about 9 miles, you’ll enjoy views of the bay looking East, Gardiner’s Bay, the north shore of the Hamptons, the tip of Montauk, Bug Light, Orient Point and Plum Island. An absolutely beautiful hike.
  • Great place to see salt marshes and lots of birds. I would recommend visiting in the Fall because it’s really hot and buggy here during summer.
