I have been horseback riding in this park for decades. I've done trail maintenance and helped find…read morelost souls. It would be nice to see more markers on the horse trails. It's a lovely place to ride with varied terain. One could ride all day if so desired. There are some steep up and down trails and some with rocks so be sure your horse is in condition and has shoes or hoof boots. There are easier rides there too if you know where to go. They have installed a mounting ramp for riders, and there is plenty of room for parking with horse trailers. Careful on the drive in as there are deep potholes.

The hike ends at an open beach front with an observation deck with binoculars. Overall, it's a nice trail and wildlife preserve with tons of wildlife.

Fantastic nature walk with trails leading to the Peconic Bay…read more Spend a few hours walking the wooded trails where cute chipmunks approach, as well as baby bunnies, birds and other critters. All are extremely friendly. Some even look for handouts, although feeding them is frowned upon. Follow the trail signs and you'll find yourself gazing at the sea and surrounding areas. The Elizabeth A. Morton National Nature Wildlife Preserve is a must do!

The trail beyond the pond is really not frequented much. Plenty of ticks in the high grass. Not a bad place. Probably better in the cooler weather.

After arriving on the ferry, I drove my way into the County Park (not the separate State Park!) to…read moreget a better picture of the lighthouse. Nearly all of the park is dirty and rock road, not very smooth. Signs are posted that a park decal is required but I decided that was a rule I could bend since I wasn't sticking around. Down the road and out to the end, I found a nice parking area (not smooth and ouchies on my car). Despite the chill and the howling wind, I was able to get quite close to the lighthouse and enjoy the view of Plum Gut. This is the very tip of the northern fork at the very end of Long Island. There are no amenities here. It's a beach park without toilets or shelters. Probably great for fishing. On a warmer and sunnier and less rainy day, this would be a fabulous park. Maybe a better road would get us to five stars. [Review 15305 overall, 807 of 2021, number 194 in New York.]

The trails are well marked and it's a nice, scenic hike through the woods. Even better, on a hot day, the trails are under a canopy providing ample shade. Just note that the trails are narrow and there's quite a bit of poison oak along them so use caution. Also note, the entrance on 25A is hidden but noticeable by the red Audubon Society House. A nice park for a nature walk and recommended.

We liked the library but when we saw the Frank Melville park it sealed the deal. I've brought my children here as babies as well as trained my puppies to walk on a leash. This park is forever me and my family. I love meeting the neighbors here and talking with fellow dog owners. Its not uncommon to see wedding parties stop and take their pictures here. The views of the north shore marsh lands as well as the bird sanctuary are magnificent. This park is a neighborhood gem and I'm thankful to live in this area.

You can rent bikes here and the trail has maybe one street crossing, so the odds on getting run down by a texting motorist are slim to none. The trail takes about 1 - 1,5 hours biking.

Not much elevation or tricky hills making it perfect for young riders. People usually will bike/ hike both ways so watch for oncoming people traffic. There are restroom facilities at the start and plenty of parking. Also around the trail, particularly around the corners are benches to rest at if you need a break. Of course watch out for kiddos on E-scooters and bikes, they don't always signal coming from behind you but then again neither do adults, so just be aware. There is also access on River Rd. which is located south of Rte 25 if you find the parking lot is not your thing. There are also pickleball courts, small playground and ball fields as of 2024 Also an ice rink. It's actually quite set up nice and no fee for parking. A great way to spend an afternoon.

I found it over the summer but they were checking for residency so I couldn't visit over the summer. This beach is very pretty but tiny. I sat on a log and admired the nature and took a lot of photos. I end up seeing a lot of beaches off season to avoid paying a fee but I'll still hang outside in the cold to admire the nature!

Just a lovely place to chil relax even in the winter season !!! Tranquility is so niceread more
