Hike around the near 7 mile perimeter of the park and hit the woods, the beach and tons of scenic stops all along the way. Parking is $8, though can be free if you have an Empire Pas ($80 for all-season day-use entry to most Stake Park facilities.) -
Come to The Sands Point Preserve Conservancy and enjoy the beautiful Medieval-eque forest trails, stone bridges, sweeping views of the Long Island sound and a castle overlooking the water. Yes, you read correctly... we're talking a full on castle of all castles. Hike, have a picnic and even visit inside the sprawling mansion. -
Perfect for a short, semi-challenging yet super enjoyable hike. Trail tip: You'll find the start of the path via a blue marked tree, located directly to the right of the waterfront boathouse. You'll encounter sand, dirt, loose gravel (and maybe mud) and there are no hills or rocks to scramble. -
This hike is not for the weary. It is chalk full of steep strep and slopes and tons of steps. This 2.5 mile long hike (total distance to and fro) takes about an hour and leaves you with a sense of accomplishment once finished. -
Prosser Pines Nature Preserves offers a very lovely opportunity to connect with nature. Yelpers love the majestic pine trees, wooden teepees and secluded feel. -
Yelpers love this relatively easy hike, which at the top offers views of the NYC skyline. This 2.6 trail includes over a dozen exercise stations, a super accurate sundial, rabbits, turtles and even goats! -
Hills, twisting trails, lush trees and beautiful trees... this hidden gem of a park is worth the hike to Farmingdale. It's only about a mile long but bring a friend, as it can be easy to get lost here. -
Yelpers love the absolutely gorgeous hike toward the Lighthouse at Robert Moses State Park. Once you reach it, you'll enjoy views that go on and on and... you get the point. Pro tip: park by field 5 to make thing easier on you! -
Sunket forest is a magical and tranquil marine forest located on Fire Island. You can reach it either via water taxi to Sailor's Haven or by taking a one mile walk across the beach. Head to the visitor center and grab a map to guide you through the shaded forest and beautiful boardwalk. -
For outdoor enthusiasts, this park offers breathtaking coastal views, sandy beaches, and rugged cliffs. Hike the trails, take in the natural beauty, and capture stunning photos of the Atlantic Ocean. Yelpers love the serene atmosphere and scenic vistas at Shadmoor State Park.
