    Thaan THE FORGOTTEN ROAD AT SOUTHAVEN PARK , presented by The Gateways Haunted Playhouse.... This is a drive through experience. You can download the track before you go or they will give you a CD to use. This was pretty cool. I would of like to see a hundred or so more walking zombies through the drive but there were many unique sightings. This was my daughter who's 12 first time at a spooky event and it was perfect fit for her. Scary but not too scary.

    Fishing, row boats, trails, skeet shooting, camp grounds, ball fields... It's got it all. The constant gun shots are a bit contradicting of a nice relaxing hike. There seem to be a bunch of flying bugs and a poorer quality of park in general when compared to others... Then again wertheim down the road was awful with that the last time I went. Great for a fall foliage walk. Get a little exercise. They've seemed to have cleaned the water up a bit which is good to see, still not like when I was a kid, but getting back to a better, healthier, cleaner place. Wish I could love it, just don't. Not as beautiful as it could be. But there a couple little spots I do quite enjoy.

    This Park is creepy. Beyond the Ticks waiting to give you Lyme disease and the UFO crash landings. The whole park has a Tales from the dark side vibe. No sounds of birds, no deer running around and the rounds blasting from the shotguns. It's just a formula to play a toll on all things horror movie deep in your psyche. I do remember fishing; Fly Fishing deeper in the park as a kid. Honestly, it's a nice park that just happens to be creepy. Not exactly a destination but worth walking around and taking in the great outdoors if you're in the area. Just bring some Tick spray or something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMEmg33vZQQ&feature=related

    Quite a beautiful and well maintained parked despite being much larger than I originally expected. They're large enough to have local campsites that you normally find in a State level park size. Plenty of walking and biking trails and quite a large area for picnic and bbqing. Especially toward the inner park where they have pavilion areas that have seating up to hundreds. I spent about a few hours just walking inside and exploring what they have to offer here. Quite a number of baseball fields and plus the river is quite calm and they have piers for you to launch kayaks and canoes. Overall pretty impressed with the layout and size of the establishment. I can see why they would have to charge admission fee during the summer (Memorial - Labor Day)since you really do get to use quite a bit of facilities. but outside of the peak summer season its quite nice to enjoy all these for free. Like others have mentioned its quite unfortunate that there is a skeet shooting range next to it so it makes the noise level bit higher than what we would like. But I think for active sports its not much of a distraction. Overall very happy with the visit here and hope to come back again soon to fully appreciate all they have to offer here.

    I would love to love this enormous park in mid Suffolk. It's got many miles of hiking trails, a fantastic campground, a beautiful river with swans and cormorants and some kooky history of a UFO crash-coverup in 1992. What I hate about this park: the shooting range on the western park border-- the constant gun reports make the park an uneasy if not scary place to be instead of an idyllic escape from the suburban sprawl and snarl. The entrance fee of $13 for non- residents is ridiculously high for a place with picnic tables and little other facilities. Unlikely for these things to improve, South Haven will continue to be my "backup" nature preserve.

    Great place to spend a Saturday afternoon.. Minus all of the gunshots that are constantly going off from the gun range. It's really sad because you really never get a chance to truly take in the beautiful scenery that this place has to offer.

    Took our Kayaks to the kayak launch. Great idea but not maintained. You pay to use it and it's loaded with swan and goose poop. The boat docks are the same. I don't understand why they don't just hose it down. There were 4 employees in the house collecting money doing nothing. When we walked up to the pay window the person was sleeping with her head down. I had to say "hello" We managed to get in out kayaks and it was a nice trip. But then we had to come back. Yuck! I hope the state gets there act together for next summer.

    Best park to play with my dogs!!!

    BEWARE.. The Park Rangers give out tickets to paying campers. Ruins the atmosphere and your vacation.

    Aside from its alienistic (that'a word?) past the park has grounds for picnic/bbq's and baseball fields.

    Visit Date: July 24, 2020…read more I was visiting Farmingville for what I thought was one last time of fairy dusting, but I may end up back there again. This was the second hiking trail I found in Farmingivlle. This is a trail that you can hike on but I think it's meant more for mountain biking. I didn't have a whole day to complete the ten miles on the whole trail by hiking, I ended up doing about two miles before I found my way back. This trail was beautiful, but I generally give most trails about 5 stars. I love to get lost in the woods and just forget I'm on Long Island and this trail definitely helped me do that. From a hiking perspective I'd say try to get here as early as possible before mountain bikers start coming to use it. When I was on it I didn't see any mountain bikers.

    Although there is a blue "easy " trail and a black "difficult " trail , both are very hard. Not for…read morebeginners. This is a great well maintained trail and what a workout! I met the trail master Carey( hope I didn't butcher his name) during my ride and a few other bikers. He led us up the black diamond trail 1000 ft elevation! Unfortunately I couldn't keep up but I plan to conquer it! Back to the blue trail for me and whew! My bow flex stations bike has nothing on Glacier! No pics cause I was to exhausted to worry about a phone! Lol next time. Carey also does gatherings with bbq's and Rockefeller oysters in the parking lot and night rides there. It's well lit at night. I'll definitely be back there more often. The mountain bike community is just a great community of people who always look out for each other.

    Crystal-clear water + sunny spring day = perfect hike…read more Spent a beautiful spring sunny day at Wadsworth Falls State Park, and it did not disappoint. I took so many pictures of the clear river. It's seriously that stunning. The swimming water vanished. We hiked the Wadsworth Falls Loop (3.6 miles, easy, great waterfall views) and also checked out part of the Main Trail. Trails were in good shape; just a little mud here and there, but totally manageable. Bonus tips from my visit: · Dogs welcome on leash · Free for CT-registered cars; $10-15 for out-of-state · Restrooms, parking, and picnic tables available · Get there early on a sunny day to beat the crowds If you love clear water, peaceful forest walks, and two distinct waterfalls, don't miss this spot. Already planning to come back with an all-terrain wheelchair for a friend (you can reserve one in advance). Would I go again? 100%.

    Gorgeous gorges! Although this park has ample signage against swimming, the Coginchaug River is…read morelovely on the eyes and ears, and being centrally located, Wadsworth Falls is a great local escape. If you have the right footwear in winter, it's a place for a rewarding hike! Boots and grips and the occasional side stepping is good for your winter trip. Mind the tracks, or crews tending the still in-use tracks, then enjoy the lovely views of multiple waterfalls, some frosted over, but water audibly rushing beneath the ice. Starting out, we didn't see the blue trail marked on the yellow and orange junction map, but the trails were well-marked with vertical tree blazes, so if you take the orange, yellow, or blue trails, you should be in good shape. If you don't have the time for a decent hike and just need a restful stop, large falls are just below the parking lot (those no access signs on the trails don't kid!). All year, enjoy! There are zero facilities here, and the only amenities appear to be accessible recreation and a dog waste station beneath the parking lot, but you aren't in the middle of nowhere. Pack in, pack out, and enjoy as much or little woods as you like, and enjoy the peaceful sounds and sights of the many falls.
