Hike at Caumsett
Start the morning with a self-guided hike at Caumsett State Park. Grab some friends, at a time that suits you to enjoy this beautiful setting. Afterwards, enjoy coffee or snacks at the Caumsett Cafe.
Where: Visitors’ Pavilion (next to main parking lot)
Cost: $8 Park Fee (Empire Pass accepted)
What to Wear/Bring: Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, hats, water bottle, bug spray (for ticks)
Located in Lloyd Neck, this 1,520-acre Caumsett is a true gem of Long Island. It offers stunning natural beauty, with woodlands, meadows, salt marshes, and a scenic shoreline. It also has a rich history. It was once the site of the Marshall Field III estate, and you can still see the estate's beautiful buildings and gardens as you explore the park.
Choose from a range of trails, each with its own unique features and scenery. Perhaps you'll enjoy the Green Trail through the forest and enjoy views of the salt marshes, or venture onto the Blue Trail for a mix of woodlands and open fields.
A trail map is at the Visitor's Center.
