BEAUTIFUL trail to the water's edge, just a BIT hilly, but very manageable, and SUPER scenic. I love going to parks like this "off season," you just feel like you're the first person to have ever "discovered" it, and it's really just YOU (and in my case, my brother and S.I.L.) and NATURE at its finest.... We only had time to take the one tail to the water's edge, but even in semi-overcast, chilly late fall weather, it was slightly challenging, scenic, and DEFINITELY worth a detour, if you're in the area (and just MIGHT need to hike off a BIT of local wine and cheeeeeese!!)

Horton Point Light is a lighthouse on the north side of Eastern Long Island, New York in the hamlet of Southold. The current lighthouse was built and the tower was first lit in 1857. The site is on a bluff 60 feet above Long Island Sound. The tower was automated in 1933 and is now operational. The tower is 58 feet high with the focal plane of the light being 103 feet above sea level. The tower is white with a black lantern and a copper dome. The light has a slow green flash every ten seconds. The lighthouse was a commissioned by George Washington himself in 1790 though the land was not acquired until 1855. It is still an active aid to navigation and when it's open to the public, visitors can climb the tower. [Review 15313 overall, 815 of 2021, round number 200 in New York.]

Horton Point Lighthouse, operated by the Southold Historical Society, is an interesting diversion…read morefor an hour or so if you're in the area. The lighthouse is an operating lighthouse. There's a small local naval history museum on the ground floor open on weekends between Memorial Day and Columbus Day, staffed by volunteers who are knowledgeable, friendly, and warm. Visitors to the lighthouse may climb to the top of the lighthouse when the museum is open. Some dexterity is required to do this, including the ability to climb narrow, winding stairs, and a short ladder. Temperatures in the lantern room can exceed outside temperatures by more than several degrees. I surmise that visiting the lantern room may not be possible when the weather is extremely hot. There's a lovely pebble beach here, assessed by wooden stairs near the parking lot. Both the stairs and the beach, with large boulders strewn about, are very photo worthy. On a clear day, one may see across Long Island Sound to the shores of Connecticut. There's a set of picnic tables on the lighthouse grounds, too. Other Comments: - Waze gave us wrong directions for the last turn. A turn onto Lighthouse Road, which is the correct way to reach the lighthouse's parking lot, should have been the last instruction. Instead of doing this, Waze directed us westward past Lighthouse Road to turn onto a private road. - Parking is $5. Admission to the lighthouse is an additional $5 per individual, or $10 per family. The admission fee comes with a Southold Historical Society "Visitor's Passport," which gives the bearer one free visit to Society's Maple Lane Museum Complex. - Verizon Wireless signal here is wonky -- OK in some places, but non-existent in others. Be sure to coordinate with your group members in-person before you wander the grounds. - There are reasonably maintained men's and women's bathrooms.

It's a beautiful place - I have biked on smaller part of the park the south of Red Creek Road along a trail and found nice ponds etc. This place has an old history going back 10,000 years from the Shinnecock Indians, tools can be found on the trail they say, and it extended the town of Southampton once with farming.
