    5 stars for what a "hike" is on Long Island. It's really a walk in the park. When you first enter, it looks like you should go straight. Go hard left and you'll stay on the whole loop. Spray your body with bug and tick spray. Ticks are plenty on this loop. A little over a mile in you'll come to the great South Bay. There is a small little beach there. If you bring a blanket and lunch, you'll enjoy a great private view. It's totally flat and very easy. The whole loop is 2.7 miles.

    Oh look, another tick. As you travel down Montauk highway in Moriches you come across the neat little gem of a walking park. There is ample parking but on nice days the lot does fill and people park on the road. It is very popular for dog walkers and most adhere to the rules about picking up after. The walking trail is well groomed and is not intense or strenuous at all. At the southern end there is an opening to the bay beach where you can find several different species of birds including plovers, terns, gulls and ospreys. It is worth walking on the sand to observe our avian friends. The woods are neat as well. There are several different species of mushroom and terrestrial critters to observe. There also are a few artesian wells that continually pour water which if you wait by during quiet times, you can see several different species of wildlife come down to drink. In all a pleasant loop walk. Keep a lookout for the swing and the benches that provide several great photo opportunities. Now let's get to what you have to watch out for. After a wet day or on a calm, windless day, the mosquitos are out in force and unfortunately make you walk faster so they don't drain you dry. You will see people walking with bug hats on during certain times of year. Also the ticks! There are plenty of them especially with the deer always crossing the hiking trail. So come prepared with long pants, tick repellent and a lint roller so you can roll them off. With a little precaution, a camera and a bit of wanderlust you can have a great time.

    Great day for a hike with my daughter!

    Love hiking here, and when you get to the end and see the Waterview, makes the hike all the better.

    Ok but not particularly nice park in Center Moriches that stretches from Montauk Hwy down to the bay. The trails are not that well marked and there are a few forks on them so may want to leave yourself a trail of bread crumbs to get back to your car. Part of the trail are narrow and have thorny shrubs on each side. Plus, there are a lot of exposed tree roots so watch out. I tripped a couple times. Not exactly looking forward to coming back any time soon but adequate for a hike if you're careful.

    Huge wooded park and beach in Center Moriches. The beach is over 1 1/4 miles down the trail so if you show up with your beach towels and cooler expect to huff it for a good twenty minutes. There are beautiful views of the Terrell River and its marshes to check out. This is one of the few public parks that welcomes dogs on a leash. It gets really popular in the summer. There are NO facilities, running water or even garbage cans, it is a carry-in, carry-out park. Come and enjoy.

    Formerly Havens Estate (at least to the people I know), this is now (as of at least 2007 it seems) Suffolk County land that meanders along Terrell River and ends @ Moriches Bay. Unfortunately, since this change, it's now overrun by people who never stepped foot inside (or across the street) before the sign and parking lot. Much preferred it back when we used this as a practice XC course, but it still ain't too shabby for a peaceful walk at any time of year,

Everything will look the same and there's a lot twists and turns. It has happened to me and I'm pretty well versed in hiking and trails. My swissy loves it here. He's not really a runner, so trails and lots of stuff to sniff and check out are his thing. It's pretty busy in the on season and relatively desolate in the off season, but it's nice either way. If you don't mind bundling up, doing some off season walking and hiking might be for you. It's very beautiful and extremely quiet, almost too quiet. I have always felt safe here. As a lady, it can be off putting to be in a large place alone but I always see rangers here and there even if other people aren't around. Many people bring their dogs to run and hike- most are good but as with any public place there are always some bad eggs. I would deff check this one out if you haven't. I often find that we stop and just watch nature. It's a really great way to get out and do something that feels different each time you go. Most of the photos are of my dog but you get an idea of what it looks like!

The park trails need maintenance as there are overgrown trees, and laid over trees across paths. Some of the trail access have planks of wood for soft ground that is rotting away. Trails are not marked and website map is difficult to read. Some of the docks on the water are inaccessible from shore.

Its a plus to have everything right there for anyone . The waves are perfect you can go our in the water and not get hit and smacked around and rolled over everywhere .

Seashells there's so many seashells that you can take a bucket and have lots of fun shell shopping . There small to big shells . There is also sea glass which I was surprised . The sea glass there is really cool small and big pieces all different colors . There is changing rooms , bathrooms , and showers . Everything is clean and everyone is polite . I didn't even see any garbage laying around . This is the first beach I've gone to which was actually really clean and people are really nice . The parking fee is only 15$ which is not bad at all then you can park anywhere and just go onto the beach . The sand is perfect its so soft and some shells but its easy to walk on . Its great for anyone family , couples , groups etc . The west Hamptons beach is a must to go to .
