Rocky Point Pine Barrens State Forest offers a unique glimpse into Long Island's history as the former site of RCA's massive radio transmitting center. While most structures have been dismantled, remnants such as concrete tower foundations, old utility poles, and piles of cables serve as reminders of the area's past.

The forest itself is crisscrossed with a network of flat trails, some recently created and others dating back to when the site was actively serviced. These well-maintained paths make the area ideal for hiking, biking, and even cross-country skiing during snowy winters.
