Arthur Kunz County Park

Highlight • Forest

Situated on the western bank of the Nissequogue River, near its estuarine mouth, this 93 acre forested property is utilized primarily for hiking. Arthur Kunz County Park features tidal creeks, a lush, mixed deciduous forest, rolling hills and valleys, and quaint hidden ponds all of which provide important habitat for wildlife. The trail system in the park provides a scenic link in a section of the Long Island Greenbelt Trail which heads north from Arthur Kunz Park to its terminus at Sunken Meadow State Park.

Stony Brook Harbor (Flax Pond State Tidal Wetlands)

Highlight • Natural

These wetlands are designated as a state conservation area due to their important habitat for coastal fish and wildlife. Keep an eye out for abundant birds, including endangered species like the short-eared owl and pie-billed grebe. Although you're less likely to see them, the mudflats, channels, and wetlands also provide vital habitat for fish and marine invertebrates.

Cordwood Park

Highlight • Forest

Gorgeous views all around, very quiet and secluded. It'd be a lovely spot to have lunch and read a book.

The roads there are very hilly and the town it's in is quite wooded and forest-y; it doesn't feel like the usual strip-mall suburbs of Long Island.

Erwin J. Ernst Marine Conservation Center

Highlight • Structure

Clean, clear, cold, fresh spring water hidden next to the Erwin J. Ernst Marine Conservation Center at the West Meadow Wetlands Reserve near the shore of the Long Island Sound. The route I took to reach this location was anything but natural, but once I reached this area I was delighted. Bike paths, great bird watching, unique natural landscapes and fresh spring water to refill all of your of bottles for free.
