Long Island Parks for a Spring Walk - Laffey Real Estate

Our real estate agents know that the wonderful scenery is one of the best things about Long Island. Long Island Sound is a mere 21 miles at its widest point, but living here is like stepping into nature's bounty. The 600 miles of coastline aren't your only choice for a nice walk, either!

Long Island is the site of several state parks as well as a variety of smaller parks that are best known to neighbors in nearby communities. If you're checking out local homes for sale, it's a wise idea to take a while to enjoy these well-tended paths, especially when they're at their most vibrant in spring.

Let's visit with just a few of your many options for a spring walk:

  • Cunningham Park Southeast Preserve Trail - Queens Village, NY 11427
    Queens Village homes for sale are just a few minutes from Cunningham Park Southeast Preserve Trail, a park you will want to come back to again and again. It's known as an urban oasis: A total of three major highways are nearby, but they don't disturb the serenity. Most of the park is totally undeveloped land, with the 1.3-mile Orange Trail and 1.1-mile White Trail looping through it.

  • Edgewood Oak Brush Plains Preserve - 528 Commack Rd., Deer Park, NY 11729
    When it comes to Deer Park homes for sale, it's easy to choose one that's not far from beautiful walking trails. Edgewood Oak Brush Plains Preserve is part of the state park of the same name and offers a wide range of walking and hiking opportunities. Amidst the 813-acre property, you can discover more than 23 miles of unpaved trails and paved paths. The 2.7-mile Edgewood Blue Hiking Trail is the main attraction.

  • Blydenburgh County Park - Smithtown, NY 11787
    Smithtown homes for sale will delight you for more reasons than one. Blydenburgh County Park is an unexpected pleasure local residents often visit on the weekend. The Stump Pond Loop is one of Long Island's longest loop trails, an easy route of 6.1 miles. With an elevation gain of just under 200 feet, it's considered welcoming for all skill levels. The rich ecosystem of Stump Pond makes it ideal for birding.

  • Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve - 1600 Merrick Rd., Merrick, NY 11566
    When you explore Merrick homes for sale, you'll be right in the midst of some of Long Island's greatest natural treasures. Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve is a little slice of paradise right in your own backyard. Opening to the public in 2000, it is one of Long Island's most recent parks. Three miles of hiking and jogging trails are included, with incredible views of the New York City skyline at the highest point.

  • Stillwell Woods Park - 72 S. Woods Rd., Woodbury, NY 11797
    Woodbury homes for sale have made a name for themselves due to their gorgeous surroundings. Stillwell Woods Park is a preserve sprawling languidly across nearly 300 acres. Hikers come from all around to journey through the Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt Trail. This one-way hike crosses 15 miles, requiring about eight hours to complete. There are also marked bicycle and equestrian trails.
