We drove a long time to get here because it was one of the few places that the Google maps info said Dogs Allowed. We get here and there is a big sign saying Dogs Not Allowed: You Will Be Fined.

Why can’t you just manage expectations and change the online info??

A very nice reserve. I only realized when I arrived that dogs were not allowed and that was terribly disappointing. Plenty parking, baseball fields, mountain biking trails, I believe there’s horses nearby?

Came here for a hike over the weekend. Place is nice for a not so steep elevated hike. There are tons of trails of different lengths and times. The worker at the preserve was very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us a map and showed us the start of the first trail. I would definitely come back here on a beautiful day

The sign posts along the trail are horrible. Bring a compass 🧭 or download the "All Trails" app.

Nice outing otherwise.

Lots and lots of paths. Some marked some not. The King Zog ruins and pock marked paved areas give it a post apocolyptic air mixed with some nicely groomed trails.

Very beautiful old nature preserve in a nice area. It's well maintained and mowed in many areas along the trails. The ruins are limited and full of graffiti from what I've found. There are several different areas of the preserve and they have different traits. You can easily get lost here if you're not careful or experienced bring a drink with you.

Very nice preserve. Great trails, wildlife, nature, etc.
I came here on a nice Monday afternoon in January.
🦋Went to the Mansion & Garden as well. Highly recommend this if your in the area.
🦋There's sufficient parking and a little cabin,you'll find bathrooms in there and an info area. But when I went... it was closed... it wasn't even 3 pm...
The trails start where the cabin is.. there's many trails, so choose which path you want to go in.
You'll know you're on the trail if you see posts such as 6a, 2b, etc. There's a little swampy area, a hilly, grassy area, and so on.
🦋there's a horse ranch as well.

Overall, I definitely recommend it for a nice hike and an adventure in the woods.

Nature is full of beautiful backdrops. The Preserve grounds are flawlessly maintained. It’s a beautiful walk in October when all the colors are changing. Sit and hang out under the big tree near the restrooms. It’s a pretty view looking up.

Its ok, a little confusing if your not from around the area, had to ask for directions. Went to the Mansion &Garden first but by accident...then was directed to the right place. There's sufficient parking, and a little cabin,you'll find bathrooms in there and an info area. The trails start there...the trails, have trails so you might get confused. You'll know your on the trail if you see posts (like 6a, 2b stuff like that). Very muddy paths, lil swampy area, a hilly, grassy area, large area. Eventually if you venture off the path you'll end up on the horse ranch.. Saw some beavers too. Which was cool. Adventure took about an hour, overall its ok.

One of the Best nature preserves on Long Island. The beautiful Chelsea Mansion is right next door. Stop in at Paterson Center that’s at the trail head kids will love it. Make sure kids are protected from ticks. If you have a bike there is a bike rack in the parking lot. There are actually three entrances to Muttontown Preserve, there is what is called the equestrian entrance on route 106 the other two are a bit difficult if your a first timer but as long as search for the Chelsea Mansion in East Norwich the Preserve is right next door or down the road. Be aware if you are not frequent hiker give yourself plenty of daylight to get out of this corn maze like trail system. Most of the time during the Summer big mud puddles and if your looking for the ruins a good way to learn their history is to ask an expert inside the Paterson Center at the trail head it is very interesting.
