Campsites have a lot of trees in them and the ground is worn out. Some sites have berries dropping all over your camper and picnic table. The tables are so dirty and hard to clean. They hardly maintain the grass cutting here seems like the workers have no pride. This park is huge but the camping area is small and tight. No favored sites. Roads are full of potholes. We stayed on 36 and when it rained it became a lake. We also made a reservation for 48 but another camper was on it and refused to move. We couldn’t get the site we paid for we had to take another.
I did the hike around the pond. The facilities and trails and well maintained. The place was quiet and it looks like there are some significant camping opportunities during the season with AT style shelters throughout the park. It is better marked than a lot of the other county parks in the area, but my one real complaint is that the maps for the area are scanned off a QR code. Mayne ots me, but I don't go to the park to look at my cellphone and it would be nice if there was a kiosk with an area map, or maybe some better signage indicating distances from landmarks. But maybe I'm old fashioned.
I took my puppy here to the dog run (small side) there were 2 men there super welcoming because I was terrified to go in (first time at a dog park), my puppy warmed up when everyone left so she didn't get to play with dogs unfortunately but I do plan to come back. Well clean and my dog LOVES the water pump. We also took a hike after by the water!
I've hiked this park twice, once by myself and once with my dad. It's a 6 mile hike and somehow for my dad and I it turned into a 7 mile 4 hour hike. My dad and I are slow hikers and my dad is much slower than I am. It's a beautiful hike around a gorgeous lake and along the way you find a historical house that used to be an office for the Long Island Greenbelt trail but now it looks boarded up and not in use. Definitely worth the hike if you're physically up for it.
Amazing place to walk, hike, kayak and mountain bike while admiring nature's beauty
This is the best park on Long Island; Went today for the first time the trail is beautiful. By the water the whole time so it’s easy to navigate but you should def use a pdf map. The elevation changes and twists and turns make it super fun to traverse. Took me 3 hours to finish so plan accordingly (food water ect). You for sure need hiking boots there is a lot of roots you go over, some mud for sure, and the elevation changes are real, this is not a flat terrain.
I will for sure be coming back here. It was great it felt like it’s own world because the area is so big it goes on forever.

This is a great county park. Only reason I did not give it five stars is you have to still pay for a one day pass, even with a green key and an empire state pass. But it has camping grounds, a boating dock, and tons of trails to hike. Definitely better than other state parks like Belmont state park and a few others I have been to.
Beautiful sense of unspoiled nature, many paths to hike. Paths are sometimes very uneven and affected by weather, so hikers should wear good outdoor footwear and be steady on your feet. Carry out your refuse, no trashcan. Very dog-friendly. Recommend bringing a map or using the QR code digital resources throughout park; easy to get lost if you don't know the paths well.
Went for mixed reasons-one of us walked the blue trail, 2 of us stayed near the lake & walked part of the blue trail. Park is actually closed-no rest rooms or any other service. Sparsely used, lots of dog walkers. Good for walkers & joggers.
Really beautiful park with nice trails around the lake. Lots and lots of swans, some of which were flying today. Trails are well marked and are probably the most naturish on Long Island. Very little noise deeper into the trails. The loop was about 6 miles, half of which I ran. They rent boats as well which is cool.
One of the nicest trails I've ever walked. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings that will help you de-stress. My friend and I walked the entire nearly 6 mile trail around the pond and it took us about 3 hours. We saw quite a few deer observing us from the woods.
