Nice trails and a clean park ..

Stuart Malin 2023 Nov 24

A nice woods to get away from the hustle and bustle that is all around. Pleasant and easy walking. No trail is challenging. Many are unlabeled but you can’t get lost as the park is simply too small. Besides, you’ll have your cellphone with GPS!

There is a $4 parking fee but it is well worthy it! The hiking trails are pretty, and the mansion is also gorgeous.

I hike in Caleb Smith several times a month, and I love it. The trails are not difficult, and the scenery is bucolic. Walking these woods is truly a meditation!

Very nice park, worth going back

It is an okay state park, but the staff there is really rude. Some old lady was screaming for us to leave in 5 on the dot. If you go there, go early. Also, they are closed on Monday. What a weird day to be closed. Also, it is not that big and the lake is okay. There are way better areas close by.

This place is so beautiful with great Long Island history. It’s nice to walk around the trails. There is a bunch of history written about the wyandanch club that used to be there. A lot of people bring their families here and take photos, especially around peak fall season. Nice!

It's a beautiful park, and they kept it quiet clean. Place by the lake is really good. Good amount of benches through out the park. Parking fees applied. I think fall is the best time for this place.

Little utilized state preserve with a lot of trails, many are a bit hilly. Very peaceful, you can enjoy nature at it's best.

Nice walking trails out into a wooded area by the creek. In mid-spring here there’s a lot of wildlife! Our kids enjoyed seeing geese and goslings, swans, and three deer.

Nice spot on Long Island; sent on a sunday [no cost parking] though we didn't know that at the time. Well maintained, clean, easy to get around.
Look for deer they are there & don't run away when people approach.
Interesting place to spend an hour or two.

This state park is truly a hidden gem. The walls and the bird preserve is amazing. The fly fishing school and activities look fantastic. Great afternoon to enjoy the outdoors.
