    Lake Ronkonkoma County Park

    Lake Ronkonkoma County Park

    (1 review)

    Lake Ronkonkoma County Park is the northwest section of Lake Ronkonkoma. It is one of four parks…read morethat shares Lake Ronkonkoma with the Town of Brookhaven Lt. Michael P Murphy Memorial Park, The Town of Islip Ronkonkoma Beach, and Raynor Beach County Park. If you are not a Brookhaven or Islip Town resident, Lake Ronkonkoma County Park is the place to visit Lake Ronkonkoma during the busy season. It is my understanding that in two of the parks you have to be either a Town of Islip or Brookhaven resident to visit the beaches during the peak season and that parking costs significantly more. I am no stranger to Lake Ronkonkoma. When I lived on Long Island, I drove by it several times on County Route 16. I would eat in Little Vincent's a stones throw away. I have always been aware that it is the largest freshwater lake on Long Island with a shoreline of approximately two miles. Living on Long Island, I have heard the folklore of Lake Ronkonkoma being bottomless. The truth is that at its deepest point it is 65 feet. And living in Long Island, I had been cognizant that Lake Ronkonkoma breaks up the suburban sprawl. I always enjoyed the green oasis of driving on County Route 16 along the Lake Ronkonkoma shoreline because momentarily I felt like I escaped suburbia. Although I had passed it several times, when I visited Lake Ronkonkoma County Park with my Stepmother and Shane the family dog on October 24, 2024; it was my first time here. When we visited, it was idyllic. There were more waterfowl than people. I am not sure if they charge to park here, but in October we drove right in to the parking lot. In mid October, the shoreline forest was adorned with Autumn colors. Unlike Lt. Michael P Murphy Memorial Park, it is a longer walk to the beach. A paved walking trail between the playground and softball field led us to the beach at the northwest corner of Lake Ronkonkoma. Walking along the wide beach, I took in south-facing views of the lake. I saw waterfowl including swans. Although, I saw a canoe for rent along the walking path, there were none in the water. The unfortunate thing about Lake Ronkonkoma is that there is a want for a complete trail encircling the lake. This beachfront park provided access to the northwest corner of the lake and that was it. The fortunate thing is that it expanded in 2017. To the east of where the forested creek flowing from the adjacent Lily Pond County Park empties into Lake Ronkonkoma, there used to be the Bavarian Inn. Due to being close to the lake, water damage destroyed the building. The upshot is that Suffolk County brought then razed the building, remediated the land and turned it into the Bavarian Shores extension of the park. There is a sign explaining the history. I appreciate that the public has access to more Lake Ronkonkoma shoreline and that when you are driving on County Route 16 you can see more of Long Island's largest freshwater lake instead of a restaurant. I give Lake Ronkonkoma County Park Four Stars. Located in a region with a lot of suburban development, this is a convenient location to enjoy the tranquil side of Long Island . If I lived here, I would certainly return to Lake Ronkonkoma County Park.

I used to go to this lake when I lived in Centereach and it was very rocky and the water was just murky. My soles would always be in pain every time I walked deeper into the lake. Just very very rocky and I don't think the lake even had sand when I was there because it was that rocky. Also this lake is named after a Native American princess who drowned herself so it is spooky for those who believe in that folktale. Although many people still visit this lake on a good sunny day.

It's not the largest area to utilize, but offers ample parking, a terrific view, and does not get as crowded as the major beaches on LI can be. You'll find some benches to picnic, along with bathroom facilities, and some wildlife too such as geese, ducks, swans, etc. In the area can be found tennis courts, basketball and handball courts, and playgrounds. Formed by ancient glaciers, Lake Ronkonkoma is the largest of Long Island's freshwater lakes. The fishing is decent here, as I spent many weekends casting a line for bass, pickerel, bluegills, perch, and pumpkinseeds among others. Fishing license is needed. I recently ran the LT Michael P. Murphy 4 Mile Run Around The Lake and it brought back many memories of fun times here. More than once I had a cop tap on my car window while parked there late at night with a lady friend. Debauchery indeed.

    Millers Pond is one of those hidden gems in Smithtown that you don't really appreciate until you…read morespend some time there. It's a small county park tucked into a residential neighborhood, perfect for a small walk or just to clear your head! The pond itself is about 21 acres with just over a mile of shoreline. There's a short trail (under a mile) that loops around and connects with the Long Island Greenbelt Trail, so if you're in the mood for a longer walk, you can definitely extend your time. It's not the place for a strenuous hike, but perfect for a peaceful stroll, birdwatching, or just sitting quietly by the water. Many people come here to fish. I catches with a local, and he mentioned they catch bass, sunfish, perch, and bullhead! It's strictly a shoreline activity, so there's no boats in the pond. I also like that it's dog friendly, as long as pups are leashed! Parking is small (maybe 5 cars tops off Maple Ave), but across the street is a park if you have any issues finding a spot to park. It's simple, it's quiet, and my niece and nephew love to come here to feed the ducks! Definitely worth checking out if you like discovering new parks and are looking for a relaxing time.

Figured I could pull over here and eat lunch but no place to sit. I guess the big attraction is saved open space that might have been developed if this wasn't here.
