Hiking
Spanning 1,600 acres on Long Island's south shore, Heckscher State Park is an outdoor haven. Shady picnic groves host family gatherings, while open fields beckon sports enthusiasts for soccer, cricket, and lacrosse. Nature lovers explore 4 miles of trails, spotting deer and birds against the backdrop of the Great South Bay and Fire Island. The bay lures visitors for swimming, boating, and water sports. Newly built waterfront cottages offer cozy accommodations with spectacular views, complete with living areas, kitchens, and screened porches.
