What's up, Merrick Mountain?! Former dump turned into a beautiful light hike by the water. Take in…read morethe scenery, the trails and the goat poo, while enjoying a little bit of suburban park reclamation! If you go up and down the long way, you can get a nice 3.5 miles in on this baby with some hills. Throw in a weighted vest, and you're getting yourself a solid light workout. There are already so many reviews, so just some notes: 1) Make your way around the current dump (also a Nassau County gem, seriously) and drive slowly. 2) Parking is tricky at certain times of the day and on weekends. Make sure to come before 9:30 on beautiful days, or else you'll be parking far, far away. More steps, If you really want them I guess. 3) Wear your sunscreen! Skin cancer is no joke, and it's pretty bright up top with not a lot of coverage if you walk around to the lake. 4) Beware...No lights in the bathroom and really not the best place to use the loo. There however is a shopping center close by... 5) Look out of all sorts of critters from birds to bugs.. including ticks.

It reminds me of a fishing village. In the evening, the crowd is more lively with more people in the streets and music from the resto & bars. Even if we dont buy anything a stroll here is guaranteed to be enjoyable. Street parking is hard in the evenings. But in the morning is never an issue.

Overall, it was a great experience. We've sailed before and will definitely sail again.

The ladies band music added to the great experience. Now I understand why the price of this water taxi tour is almost same of riding the bigger boat in the area.
